Nixon gave Watergate order, says Magruder
President Richard Nixon personally ordered the burglary at the Watergate Hotel in June _1972, the spark of the scandal that eventually forced him from office, a trusted aide now says.
Jeb Stuart Magruder, who was Nixon's assistant communications director before moving to the re-election committee, said he heard part of a telephone conversation _between Nixon and John Mitchell, the campaign chairman, in which the president urged Mitchell to proceed with a break-in at the Democratic National Committee office _in the Watergate.
