Businessman details Segretti led sabotage for GOP in Southland
A Los Angeles area businessman, unnamed for safety, testified that Donald Segretti recruited him to disrupt Democratic campaigns in 1972. He described receiving assignments by mail or direct, placing pickets, and distributing leaflets attacking Muskie and others, funded secretly from campaign sources. The White House denied condoning sabotage, while NYT reports trace extensive reach of calls among Segretti, Chapin, and Hunt. The agent noted meetings in various cities and that payments covered expenses with future funds promised.

Agent reports paid pickets and office volunteers in campaign disruption plan
The agent claimed paid pickets cost £50 to £500 for a small group, plus expenses, totaling about $1,000 for all work. He said pickets were told to disrupt events by stone throwing and critical chants. He estimated hires on about six occasions and met similar numbers of volunteers at Muskle campaign offices.
