Event Details

This document appears to be a page from a narrative manuscript or book included in a House Oversight evidence file (Bates stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015120). The text depicts a first-person narrator (strongly implied to be Richard Nixon) discussing the Watergate break-in aftermath, reviewing derogatory opposition research on journalist Carl Bernstein, and, unusually, describing the consumption of cocaine with Chief of Staff Bob Haldeman. The content regarding drug use suggests this may be a fictional or satirical account (e.g., from a novel like 'Watergate' by Thomas Mallon) rather than a historical government record.
