Donald Quotes
Nixon’s brother Donald Nixon was a notoriously poor businessman and was in financial difficulties. The Vice President asked the Howard Hughes attorney if a loan could be arranged for brother Donald. Nixon told Dietrich that “My family comes ahead of my political career.” The $25,000 loan was arranged and “laundered” by coming from Frank Waters, a Hughes attorney to Nixon’s mother who in turn gave the money to Donald. He promptly spent it all and 2 weeks later Don’s business went under. No quid pro quo has ever been proved, although see Howard Hughes’ quotation.
