John Dean Admits Borrowing Watergate Funds
John Dean told federal investigators he kept 14000 dollars from 1972 Republican campaign funds and at one time borrowed 4000 to finance his wedding and honeymoon. He later repaid the amount by check into a special trust fund not in his name. Prosecutors know where the money is. The 14000 was the remainder of a 22000 fund authorized by White House officials for newspaper ads supporting Nixon’s Vietnam policies.
