House Dems to Call Nixon Lawyer as First Witness in Mueller Report Hearing National Review, Jun 3, 2019, Jack Crowe
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee announced Monday that they will call John Dean, the former White House counsel to President Richard Nixon, as their first witness in the upcoming Mueller report hearings.
The hearings, which House Democrats have titled “Lessons from the Mueller Report: Presidential Obstruction and Other Crimes,†will begin June 10 and will primarily serve as a platform to further explore President Trump’s alleged attempts to obstruct Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
“While the White House continues to cover up and stonewall, and to prevent the American people from knowing the truth, we will continue to move forward with our investigation,†Judiciary Committee chariman Jerry Nadler said in a statement. “These hearings will allow us to examine the findings laid out in Mueller’s report so that we can work to protect the rule of law and protect future elections through consideration of legislative and other remedies.â€
Dean served as the star witness in the Watergate impeachment trial and ultimately pled guilty to obstruction of justice in 1973. He will appear beside a number of former U.S. attorneys and legal experts at this month’s hearing.
