There are a few questions to be asked about this claim. First of all, Langan was born in 1947. So when Nixon took office in 1969, Mr. Langan was 22. In 1974 when Richard Nixon resigned he was 27. Presidential aide? Most likely not. Gofer to the presidential aides? More than likely.
Now, this is interesting. There was a James Kennedy Langan that was found guilty of misappropriating (stealing in layperson's terms) at least $18,177.31 from the accounts of six customers during the time he was employed at Drexel Burnham Lambert Incorporated. The date of the below document is Sept. 21, 1981 (and the information within would conicide with the age of 25 when he became employed as a trainee representative in 1972). Neither James Kennedy Langan or his attorney appeared at the hearing to dispute the said charges (which may be considered to be an admission of guilt). In fact, after he was terminated from his job, seems he got the hell out of Dodge considering mail notifying him of the impending legal proceedings was unclaimed and returned (in act of cowardice). Being found guilty by unaminous vote, James Kennedy Langan was permanently barred from membership with the NYSE and any employment with any member or any organization. If this is the same James Kennedy Langan (and there is only ONE James Kennedy Langan that is a result of a people search) that is the owner of the HV News and who married Caroline Carey (who coincidently also worked in investment banking) per the following wedding announcement, http://www.nytimes.com/1997/06/01/style/caroline-m-carey-james-k-langan.html
it would explain why he ended up as a producer of the Morton Downey Jr. show (because he was no longer able to be employed in the banking & finance industry). For those who are unfamiliar with the show, it was the precursor to Jerry Springer in the 1980's, but much sleazier. Which explains his style of reporting in his paper = Utter trash.
