Committee to Re-elect the President
The
Committee to Re-elect the President, also known as CRP or CREEP, was a
White House fund-raising organization headed by
John Mitchell, the former
Attorney General.
G. Gordon Liddy and
E. Howard Hunt were members of CREEP who were involved in the
Watergate break-in. CREEP funds, to the tune of 500,000
U.S dollars, were used to pay off the Watergate burglars after their indictment in
September 1972.
