Tapes show Richard Nixon as Watergate scandal loomed
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23788834Two future US presidents called Richard Nixon in support after he gave a speech on the Watergate scandal amid a staff exodus, newly-released tapes show.
Ronald Reagan and George H W Bush attempted to boost Nixon's spirits as he denied any knowledge of the break-in at his political rivals' offices.
The calls are among the final instalment of released recordings from the Republican's administration.
Nixon ended his Oval Office taping system a year before he resigned.
