Page "Watergate scandal" Paragraph 25

On April 30, Nixon asked for the resignation of H. R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, two of his most influential aides, both of whom were indicted, convicted and ultimately sentenced to prison.

He fired White House Counsel John Dean, who went on to testify before the Senate and became the key witness against the president.

Writing from prison for New West and New York Magazine in 1977, Ehrlichman claimed Nixon had offered him a large sum of money, which he declined.
