Nixon knew of clemency offers in Watergate case
James McCord testified that John Caulfield offered executive clemency and said Nixon was aware of the plan. Caulfield, a former Nixon aide, allegedly conveyed messages from the White House to McCord urging silence and signaling high-level involvement. McCord described meetings on January 12 and later drives toward Warrenton, with repeated pressure to plead guilty and accept clemency. The White House has denied any such offers.
