Photo Overview
John N. Mitchell, United States Attorney General under President Richard Nixon, addresses reporters in the Great Hall of the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building, Washington DC. The famous “Spirit of Justice” statue rises behind him as microphones crowd the podium. This press photograph was issued to promote the July 28, 1970 episode “Politics” in the PBS/BBC-KCET series “The Space Between Words,” which examined how public figures communicate.
Mitchell became one of the most powerful figures in the Nixon administration and later the highest-ranking U.S. official ever convicted of crimes connected with the Watergate scandal. Images of him before the scandal broke, especially framed by the iconic Art Deco statue, capture a pivotal moment just before American politics was upended. Own a dramatic slice of pre-Watergate history—add it to your cart today before another political memorabilia collector does.

Condition: Good to fair vintage condition. Some of the photos in this collection have curling, or edge imperfections. Please see photos for scans of the surface.
