Late 1971, the President’s brother Donald Nixon, was collecting intelligence for his brother and asked John H. Meier about DNC chair Larry O’Brien. Donald was unaware that John H. Meier, a lobbyist to Howard Hughes, had shifted his leanings toward Hubert Humphrey. Meier bluffed to Donald that he was sure the Democrats would win the election since they had a lot of information on Richard Nixon’s illicit dealings with Howard Hughes that had never been released, and that Larry O’Brien had the information,[1]. Donald then called his brother and told him that Meier gave the Democrats all the Hughes information that could destroy him (Richard Nixon) and that O’Brien has it.[2]
