Nixon Now Podcast

On this edition of the Nixon Now Podcast we explore what became known as the Watergate "Road Map." In October, Politico reported that Chief U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell granted a request to unseal a large chunk of the “Road Map” that a federal grand jury in Washington sent to the House Judiciary Committee in early 1974 as part of the Watergate investigation. The petition to the court was made by our guest today, Geoff Shepard, author and former Nixon White House official who served as Associate Director for General Government on the Domestic Council, and deputy to Nixon’s defense attorney Fred Bruzhardt. Mr. Shepard is the author of two books about Watergate, “The Secret Plot to Make Ted Kennedy President: Inside the Real Watergate Conspiracy” and "The Real Watergate Scandal: Collusion, Conspiracy, and the Plot That Brought Nixon Down."
