Stans Testifies He Knew Little of Watergate Pledge
Washington UPI reports secret sworn testimony shows Maurice Stans told Jeb Magruder Mitchell learned all facts on the Watergate bugging a week after the June 17 break in. Stans said he believed Mitchell kept records of the meeting but recalled no such meeting. He recounted destroying a cash contributions summary on June 23 under counsel advice including Liddy, while denying knowledge of the broader Watergate cover up. Magruder prepared to testify next, with Ervin expanding hearings into August amid pressure on Nixon aides and donors.
