The Other Nixon Watergate Men
Criminal activity relating to the Watergate scandal reaches beyond the seven Nixon aides indicted last week. It embraces accusations involving illegal campaign contributions by Financier Robert L. Vesco and perjury charges against Milk-Industry Lobbyist Jake Jacobsen. In addition, nine corporations have been fined for making illegal campaign donations. But most damaging for the President is the large number of his aides and agents who have already been to court. Before the latest indictments, 18 men with connections to the White House or the Committee for the Re-Election of the President had been indicted or convicted or had pleaded guilty to criminal charges.
