Former Aide Claims Nixon Ordered Urgent Ellsberg Probe
Former White House aide Bud Krogh testified at the Pentagon Papers trial that President Nixon ordered urgency in investigating Daniel Ellsberg and authorized covert activity that led to a break in at Ellsberg's psychiatrist office. Krogh said Ehrlichman learned of the break in after it happened and criticized the operation as beyond approved covert activity. He noted Nixon worried whether the leak was by one person or a wider espionage conspiracy and cited FBI reports about the Russian embassy receiving the papers.
