McCord Testimony Details Watergate Wiretaps and Tactics
James W McCord Jr testified before Senate investigators denying efforts to influence the White House to avoid jail. He admitted sending an unsigned December letter threatening “every tree in the forest” if the CIA were blamed, and said the threat targeted no one but the case. He described two calls to foreign embassies to be overheard on taps, intended to test government honesty. Embassies identified as Israel and Chile. Caulfield offered clemency to McCord and claimed Nixon was aware, but White House denies any clemency offers or cover up.
