Today In Watergate History
Monday, September 11, 1972
- Woodward and Bernstein write a story about an unnamed FBI agent who participated in the Watergate incident. (Judy Hoback later helps them the agent as Alfred Baldwin. Baldwin had been telling all to the prosecutors and became a hot interview for reporters.)
- Following the Post's article, Mark Felt sends a memo demanding that agents be cautious about who they speak to about the Watergate investigation.
"Mr. Butterfield, are you aware of the installation of any listening devices in the Oval Office of the President?"
