A White House tape from May 5 1971 shows President Nixon and H R Haldeman discussing hiring Teamsters to assault demonstrators. The NYT notes no evidence of actions taken, while officials dispute authenticity and context of the transcript. The release remains tied to unrelated civil suits and past Watergate proceedings.
