Ford pardons Nixon |
| |||
| After only one month in office, Ford delivers a nationally televised address in which he gives Nixon an unconditional presidential pardon for all federal crimes that he "committed or may have committed or taken part in" while in office. Nixon accepts the pardon, an action that Ford later calls tantamount to an admission of guilt. |
