Dean testimony details hush money dispute in Watergate case
John W. Dean III testified that H R Haldeman and John Ehrlichman argued with former Attorney General John Mitchell over who should raise hush money for the Watergate burglars. Dean acted as a go-between as the dispute shifted responsibility among White House aides in fall 1972, with funds later paid from Nixon campaign money under Haldeman's control. Charles Colson planned to force Mitchell to take the blame to save the White House.
