This morning’s widely-circulated characterization of Roger Stone as a Nixon campaign aide or adviser is a gross misstatement. Mr. Stone was 16 years old during the Nixon presidential campaign of 1968 and 20 years old during the reelection campaign of 1972. 1/2.

Mayor Johnson’s reference to President Nixon is gratuitous and the facts are not on his side in his characterization of Richard Nixon and the Nixon administration’s civil rights record. Here are the facts: 🧵.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson blames President Richard Nixon for the violence in his city: “Black death has been unfortunately accepted in this country for a very long time. We had a chance 60 years ago to get at the root causes.”

Mr. Stone, during his time as a student at George Washington University, was a junior scheduler on the Nixon reelection committee. Mr. Stone was not a campaign aide or adviser. Nowhere in the Presidential Daily Diaries from 1972 to 1974 does the name "Roger Stone" appear. 2/2.

Last night’s @60Minutes segment incorrectly stated that President Nixon “sought to” destroy White House tapes. President Nixon never “sought to” destroy any White House tapes, but in fact chose to preserve all of them when their existence became known in July 1973. While.
After President Nixon sought to destroy audio tapes that held evidence of potential crimes, Congress took action, passing the Presidential Records Act in 1978. That law made presidential papers the property of the American people.
