American Airlines admits 55000 gift to Nixon campaign
American Airlines confessed it donated 55000 from company funds to President Nixon's reelection effort in 1971. Special prosecutor Archibald Cox warned that jail and fines await officers who admit illegal gifts and said the investigation will continue. Spater took responsibility and said the move aimed to mitigate charges. Cox noted the admission could serve as a mitigating factor in charges.
