President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is taking a fresh look at allegations of misconduct by prosecutors involved in the Watergate investigation that brought down President Richard Nixon more than half a century ago.
Former Nixon White House aide Geoff Shepard recently delivered a two-hour presentation to the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility outlining his case that Nixon and other Watergate defendants were denied fair treatment.
The 78-page presentation, titled “Watergate as Lawfare,” alleged that special prosecutors Archibald Cox and Leon Jaworski improperly communicated with judges and withheld evidence from defendants.
Shepard previously sought a DOJ investigation into his allegations, but the Biden regime declined to pursue it further back in 2022.
A DOJ spokesman stressed that the latest development does not yet constitute a formal investigation.
“Given his expertise and scholarship on Watergate, he was recently invited to give a presentation,” the spokesman said.
