Nixon's Lawyer Tied to Secret Fund in Campaign
The Washington Star-News reports President Nixon's personal lawyer Herbert W. Kalmbach controlled a secret Newport Beach California fund possibly reaching half a million dollars used for polling and disrupption including payments to Los Angeles attorney Donald W. Sepretti. The fund was hidden in an ink account at Bank of America Newport Beach and funded by cash cashier's checks from Security Pacific National Bank. The Star-News notes prior reports of large sums linked to Nixon campaign surveillance and possible Watergate activity. The Washington Post cites sources indicating Nixon was warned last December that associates including John W. Dean and John N. Mitchell may have been deeply involved in illegal surveillance and cover-up. The Watergate grand jury continues its investigation as Dean is set to appear.
