The Milk Case was an 1974 corruption scandal that involved the US president Richard Nixon and the secretary of the treasury John Connally.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
The milk magnates allegedly financed Nixon's political campaign in return for the president to use his power to raise the price of milk.[7]
In April 1975, the jury of the U.S. District Judge George Hart's Washington courtroom announced that they had found Connally not guilty.[8]
