Nixon, at FBI trial, heckled by leftists
October 30, 1980
Washington
Richard Nixon testified Wednesday in the trial of two former top FBI officials, W. Mark Felt and Edward S. Miller, and was promptly interrupted by four leftist sympathizers in the audience who shouted, "War criminal" and "He's a liar" before US marshals removed them from the courtroom. The former President was called to testify about whether he ordered FBI break-ins during a hunt for fugitive radicals. Mr. Felt and Mr. Miller are charged with approving illegal break-ins in 1972 and '73.
