notes: label: Description
content: The testimony of John Dean, former counsel to the president, before the Senate Watergate hearings in June 1973 proved extremely damaging to President Richard Nixon. In one of the turning points of the hearings, Dean was asked "What did the president know and when did he know it?" Dean answered by outlining Nixon's extensive involvement in a cover-up of the Watergate burglary from the beginning, including his authorization of hush money to silence witnesses.
