Nixon Says Kennedy Authorized King Wiretap
President Nixon asserts he personally checked and found that Robert F. Kennedy as attorney general did authorize FBI wiretapping of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The clash widens as Kennedy successors deny Hoover’s claims and defend RFK’s integrity. Courtney Evans memo cited by The Washington Evening Star notes Kennedy’s concerns about Marxism and possible Marxist ties, with FBI advice against surveillance then. Nixon defends Hoover while ex-AGs Clark and Katzenbach challenge the portrayal of RFK as originator, stating Kennedy did authorize taps but was not the source of the idea.
