Whether because of his conservative reputation, or his reputation as one of Washington's top trial lawyers, or both, Wilson got a telephone call one day last April from John Ehrlichman, whom he had never met before. That same day Wilson was also retained by H.R. Haldeman. Thus he appeared before the Ervin committee as counsel for both men-or, as he once...
