The panel planned further sessions, with possible Senate confirmation votes anticipated next week or in early December.

Cox firing tied to Nixon anger and Watergate turmoil
Former attorney general Elliot Richardson testified before the Senate panel that President Nixon may have fired Archibald Cox on October 20 for partisan aims to damage the presidency. Richardson disputed rumors that Cox was close to exposing sensational evidence and noted earlier resignations during the Spiro Agnew probe. He recalled Nixon’s agitated behavior in July and described the era’s tense White House dynamics.
