Dean vows not to be scapegoat in Watergate probe
White House Counsel John W. Dean III says he will not be scapegoated for Watergate and may implicate other aides. The Washington Post cites sources claiming President Nixon was told by staff last year that former Atty. Gen. John Mitchell and Dean were involved in wiretapping Democratic HQ and the coverup. Mitchell testified before a grand jury about discussion of tapping in 1972 and disapproval. Dean is named by Jeb Magruder as present at a meeting planning the bugging.
