- John Dean became counsel to President Richard Nixon in July 1970. He began cooperating with federal investigators in March or early April of 1973, and Nixon fired him on April 30. As one of the first government officials to accuse the president of conspiracy, Dean testified before the Senate Watergate Committee that Nixon attended thirty-five meetings during which the break-in was discussed. His testimony eventually led to Nixon’s resignation.
- Dean claimed that Nixon knew of the White House cover-up as early as September 15, 1972, the same day the Watergate indictments were announced. At Nixon’s request, Dean helped to orchestrate a cover-up of the Watergate scandal by speaking with the director of the FBI, Patrick Gray, and influencing FBI reports. On October 19, 1973, Dean pleaded guilty to a single felony, the charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice, in exchange for becoming a key witness for the prosecution.

John Dean
John Wesley Dean III (nacido el 14 de octubre de 1938) es un ex abogado que se desempeñó como consejero de la Casa Blanca del presidente de los Estados Unidos, Richard Nixon, desde julio de 1970 hasta abril de 1973. Dean es conocido por su papel en el encubrimiento del escándalo Watergate y su posterior testimonio ante el Congreso como testigo.[1] Su declaración de culpabilidad a un solo delito a cambio de convertirse en un testigo clave de la acusación finalmente resultó en una condena reducida, que cumplió en Fort Holabird, en las afueras de Baltimore, Maryland. Después de su declaración, fue inhabilitado como abogado. Según el FBI, Dean fue el "maestro manipulador" del asunto Watergate.
Poco después de las audiencias de Watergate, Dean escribió sobre sus experiencias en una serie de libros y recorrió los Estados Unidos para dar conferencias. Más tarde se convirtió en comentarista de política contemporánea, autor de libros y columnista del sitio web Writ de FindLaw.
