One Man Against Another Dean Believes Nixon Briefed On Watergate
John W. Dean III told Senate Watergate hearings he believes White House aides likely briefed President Nixon on wiretapping and the cover-up while denying firsthand knowledge. He testified that aides such as Gordon Strachan would have reported details to Haldeman, and he admitted participating in the cover-up under orders. Dean said the operation began within two days of the June 17, 1972 burglary and he later sought to reveal what he knew as the cover-up unraveled.
