Gray recounts CIA FBI clash over Watergate witnesses
Gray says the CIA showed no interest in two witnesses while the FBI pursued the Watergate probe. He delivered a memo from the CIA denying involvement, then briefed President Nixon by phone. Gray says Dean reported directly to the president, a claim Newsweek disputes. The digest notes no White House links found by Gray.

Dean backs away from Nixon era claims in Watergate timeline
Former White House lawyer John Dean described a shift in view from support to skepticism about Watergate. He recounted tense Oval Office moments with Nixon, the Easter telephone farewell, and his firing on April 30. Dean said he did not write the report denying White House aide involvement and reflected on Kissinger acknowledging wiretaps.
