Jaworski scoffs at claim stronger prosecutor could block Nixon pardon
Former Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski calls Sam Dash suggestion that a tougher prosecutor could have blocked Nixon’s pardon “silly.” Jaworski recalls Ford pardoned Nixon at 11 am after a 9:30 call, denying any chance to go to the people. In Washington, Bahamian bank records cited by an IRS informant allegedly show Nixon had a secret Bahamas account. Norman Casper testified to Congress about the records and named Tony Curtis Hugh Hefner and others as possible account holders.
