Hunt Accused Of Blackmail In Watergate Probe
The Washington Post reports convicted conspirator E Howard Hunt Jr effectively blackmailed the White House by threatening to expose high Nixon officials in illegal acts unless paid and granted clemency. Investigators say Hunt received over 200000 with assurances of pardons as several messages reached White House and Nixon campaign figures. Colson testifies Hunt was sent to question ITT lobbyist Dita Beard regarding an alleged political payoff, and Hunt drafted a report cited in Dean's files. Senate Watergate panel subpoenas campaign finance records of five 1972 Democratic candidates for later public hearings.
