Sloan testifies Mitchell set 1971 campaign spending
Former Nixon campaign treasurer Hugh Sloan Jr. testified at the Senate Watergate hearings that Atty. Gen. John Mitchell steered campaign spending as early as 1971, contradicting Mitchells sworn prior statement. Sloan said top aides warned about financial links to Watergate and recounted cash payments to G Gordon Liddy with Mitchells approval. He noted Kalmbach told him Mitchell would take over spending in summer 1971 as Fleming sent budget memoranda for approval.
