Gray testimony questions Nixon knowledge of Watergate
Former acting FBI Director L Patrick Gray III testified that he warned President Nixon on July 6 1972 that White House staff were attempting to use the FBI and CIA to obstruct investigators. Gray said Nixon did not order a March 21 1973 direct report to him and that there would be future actions against the administration’s enemies. He described pressure to destroy Hunt papers and said he followed orders he believed to be proper. The testimony covered the Watergate wiretap affair and related claims about the President’s responses.
