Ex-campaign aide pleads guilty in Watergate cover-up
Former Nixon re election aide Frederick C. LaRue pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice. He agreed to testify against others and could face up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Court docs say he and unnamed conspirators devised a plan to obstruct the grand jury and the Justice Department by concealing evidence after the June 1972 break-in.
