Edward Nixon (1930 – 2019) was the youngest brother of President Richard Nixon. He served on the inaugural committee during the 1973 election and is mentioned in this book. As the Watergate scandal evolved, it was revealed that Charles “Bebe” Rebozo gave campaign contributions to Rose Mary Woods, Donald Nixon and Edward Nixon. He was the longest lived Nixon brother and the last surviving brother when he passed away in 2019.
