Former CRP aides ready to testify on perjury plot in Watergate hearing
Washington reporters say two Nixon campaign officials, Powell A. Moore and Herbert Porter, prepared to swear they were urged to commit perjury to shield higherups and Nixon reelection. Porter cited Stuart Magruder admitting knowledge of the Watergate break in and pressuring him to lie about Liddy and the $100,000. Porter quoted Magruder saying it would look bad but not hurt Nixon’s chances if the money supported “tricky” activities. Sloan testified he distributed about $1 million in early 1972 without details, while indicating a possible perjury risk. Inouye attends as hearing opens.
