Nixon aides fired Cox hint in 1973 bid for nom
Former Attorney General Elliott Richardson suggested the Nixon White House hinted he could win the GOP nomination if he ousted Watergate investigator Archibald Cox in 1973. Richardson and Deputy William Ruckleshaus refused to dismiss Cox, and the pair were later fired in the Saturday Night Massacre. The Watergate documentary highlights 10 years since the break in and includes a poll showing 80 percent recall the scandal and 70 percent believe Nixon cannot hold future office. Sirica is quoted on Nixon’s resignation rationale.
