John Dean testifies before the Judiciary Committee marking the first opportunity for the White House to question his version of events. St. Clair tries to pin him down on the $75,000 payout to Hunt on March 21 saying the President did not approve it as Dean had testified the year before and the matter was left unresolved. Dean counters the only matter left unresolved was raising the $1,000,000 needed to continue the payoffs. Dean maintains the upper hand throughout the questioning with St. Clair demonstrating he does not contain the same knowledge of the situation as Dean.
