Almost a half-century after his stunning testimony helped sink president Richard Nixon, Watergate figure John Dean is to speak in Congress Monday on Donald Trump’s alleged obstruction crimes. Democrats of the House Judiciary Committee have invited the former White House counsel and two other legal experts to talk about the Mueller Russia meddling report’s allegations that Trump obstructed justice — keeping alive the possibility that they could move to impeach the president. Dean has no role in the Russia investigation, but Trump, unable to shake accusations that he obstructed justice, has lashed out, calling him a “sleazebag attorney” in a Democratic effort to “redo” the Mueller investigation.
