In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Dean, an outspoken critic of President Trump, said several points in the Mueller report “echo Watergate,” especially relating to the obstruction of justice probe. Georgia GOP Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, mocked Democrats for bringing Dean in for testimony, accusing Democrats of using him to try to attack the president. Dean, who testified before the committee in 1974 during the Nixon impeachment inquiry, eventually cooperated with prosecutors, pleading guilty to obstruction. "House Democrats are going to new lengths to baselessly smear President Trump," the RNC's Steve Guest said in a statement. "They are hauling in a relic from the past, John Dean, who has absolutely no connection to anything having to do with the Mueller investigation."
