Stans Denies Blocking GAO Audit in Nixon Campaign Case
Maurice Stans, Nixon fundraiser and former commerce secretary, denied Democratic claims that he blocked release of a GAO audit on campaign finances tied to the bugging case. He said he met GAO officials in Miami Beach to ensure a complete report, and he asserted he did not influence its release. The probe centers on a $25,000 donation traced to Dwayne Andreas and its flow through Bernard Barker's Florida account.
