Moore became a special counsel to President Nixon in 1971, and in July 1973 was a witness to the Senate committee investigating the Watergate scandal.[2] After leaving the administration he later became founder and associate producer of The McLaughlin Group, and was later ambassador to Ireland under President George H.
