Watergate figure Charles Colson dies at 80
Charles Colson, once a leading Nixon aide described as an “evil genius,” died at 80. He spent seven months in prison for obstruction of justice tied to the Ellsberg hacking plots and later built Prison Fellowship Ministries while evangelizing to inmates. Colson’s post prison life drew praise and continued controversy over his redemption.
