Nixon portrayed as solitary president in Watergate hearings
Senate testimony depicts President Nixon as a man of solitude. Jeb Magruder, who organized the 1972 campaign, says he never met Nixon alone. White House aides Haldeman Ehrlichman and Ziegler also seldom met with the President. Magruder and Stans note limited direct contact despite key roles. Ervin says Nixon may have been ignorant of Watergate actions, though he was not in the President’s confidence.
