Author and Fox News contributor Dan Bongino claimed Monday that House Democrats are trying to distract the public from questions about the Mueller report by calling former Watergate figure John Dean to testify. President Trump blasted Dean as a "CNN sleazebag attorney" Sunday in a nod to Dean's appearances on the cable news channel. They're trying to fabricate an obstruction charge that doesn't exist and they know it," he claimed, dismissing Dean as a "discredited former felon." "In fact, all Americans are affected by the growing authoritarianism that made Mr. Trump president," Dean wrote. Dean assisted with the Watergate coverup and pleaded guilty to obstruction before becoming a key prosecution witness.
