On this day, October 21, 1972: Watergate wasn't going away.

David Fahrenthold Retweeted

At a press conference in Chicago, Spiro Agnew denounces the Washington Post for their coverage of Watergate. When asked if he's bothered by the problems that have arisen from Watergate, Agnew says that since there is no White House connection, he is not bothered at all.



Woodward and Felt meet at the parking garage where Woodward pushes for confirmation on the White House official that has access to the secret cash fund.



Felt refuses to confirm if Haldeman is the final person that had access to the cash fund. Felt says that his failing to warn Woodward off a bad story "would be a misconception of our friendship." Still, Felt tells Woodward to get the confirmation on Haldeman that's out there.



President Nixon and Pat Nixon enjoy the movie "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" this evening while at Camp David.
