Senators urge court appointment of special prosecutor over Watergate
Eight members of the Senate Judiciary Committee urged a court appointed special prosecutor, saying executive branch selection would taint the Watergate probe. They endorsed a bill for court appointment, while another bill would let the administration name the prosecutor with Senate confirmation. The panel tied firing Cox to White House unhappiness with the probe and warned of risks if the special prosecutor serves in the executive branch.
