Today In Watergate History

Saturday, November 11, 1972

  • Bernstein flies to California and meets with Meyers. The two go to interview Segretti who had come home since he went underground following the Post's story outing him. Segretti tells them he wants to get the story out, but he knows he can't speak on the record. He admits Chapin hired him and Kalmbach paid his salary. He is clearly upset by the relentless pressure from the press on his family and friends. Bernstein stays for several days, but Segretti won't go on the record.

"[Regarding the Washington Post] They don't realize how rough I can play."

Richard Nixon | President of the United States
