Agnew Denies Kickback Allegations As False and Malicious
Vice President Spiro Agnew condemned Maryland kickback accusations as false scurrilous and malicious at a news conference near the White House. He rejected rumors of $1 000 weekly payments and a $50 000 lump sum after becoming VP, insisting he has nothing to hide and would not resign. The probe, led by federal prosecutors in Baltimore, focuses on contracts awarded to private firms during his Maryland governorship and county leadership, with reports of possible indictments in weeks. The case widens to other politicians and firms in Maryland and Washington.
