...Mollenhoff agreed after being assured by Haldeman that Nixon wanted it. Mollenhoff got it from Assistant IRS Commissioner Donald W. Bacon. The report, which claimed that Gerald Wallace might have failed to report kickbacks from state liquor sales and federal highway contracts, was then leaked to Columnist Jack Anderson by a source "at the highest White House level," said Mollenhoff in a Judiciary Committee affidavit.

Anderson claims that he received the tax report from Murray Chotiner, a Nixon...

He calls himself "a pragmatic liberal"; as speaker, he manages rather than initiates bills...
...incriminating material?a C.R.P. spokesman said: "The sources of the Post are a fountain of misinformation." The initial stories concerning Donald Segretti's dirty-tricks operation and Segretti's connection to White House Aide Dwight Chapin were denounced as "not only fiction but a collection of absurdities."
