John Dean appears before the Senate Watergate Committee and details the “cancer on the Presidency” conversation he had with Nixon in March. He also details the inner workings of the Watergate coverup, dirty tricks, wiretapping, secret cash funds, and the Plumbers. He admits to blocking the Patman investigation. He recalls the September 15, 1972 meeting with President when he was credited for doing a good job managing the cover up saying he felt the President was well informed on all his activities prior to that meeting. Many of the details were already in the public record from Nixon’s statement on May 22.
