John Wesley Dean

John W. Dean, former White House Counsel to President Richard Nixon, became a central figure in the Watergate scandal. His deep involvement in the events leading to the break-in and subsequent cover-up positioned him as a key witness for the prosecution. Following a guilty plea and crucial testimony, he received a reduced prison sentence. Dean now works as an author, columnist, and commentator on contemporary politics, offering sharp critiques of conservatism and the Republican Party.
