"The "Smoking Gun" tape revealed that Nixon instructed Haldeman to have the CIA pressure the FBI into dropping their Watergate investigation.[9] Nixon instructed him to tell the CIA that the investigation would "open up the whole Bay of Pigs thing again."[9][10] In his book, Haldeman wrote: "It seems that in all those references to the Bay of Pigs, he was actually referring to the Kennedy assassination."[9][10] He added that Nixon might have been reminding CIA Director Richard Helms that the CIA assassination attempts on Fidel Castro may have triggered the assassination of Kennedy.[10]"
