Nixon offered Ehrlichman large hush-money sum says aide
Los Angeles AP John Ehrlichman says Nixons Watergate recap to David Frost is a rationalization that will be tested and found false. Ehrlichman writes in New West and New York magazines that Nixon was overcome with self pity when he fired him and offered a huge sum of money which Ehrlichman declined. He cites a Camp David meeting and questions the Frost interview account as partly accurate but acknowledges Ehrlichman felt sadness and confusion at Aspen Lodge rather than bitterness.
