Page 2 - RICHERT VS. SORKIN THEFT OF THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT AND THE WEST WING

During the Watergate Era, William Richert interviewed the daughters of Presidents Richard Nixon and Lyndon B. Johnson for "60 Minutes."
He also interviewed the daughters of Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman.
Margaret Truman and Katherine Graham of the Washington Post helped arrange the interviews for Mr. Richert.
In a story worthy of Hollywood, these lost interviews entwined with fiction and eventually became the screenplay for THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT and series THE WEST WING, where authorship credit was taken from the original authors by Aaron Sorkin and his wife and business partners Rob Reiner and Alan Horn.
This file is part of new evidence, the basis of a new lawsuit.
