John Dean Says 1 Thing Keeping Me On The Edge Of My Seat' In Trump Trial

The Watergate figure shone a light on a key aspect of the case against the former president.

Watergate figure John Dean opined on the importance of the documents that are being presented in former President Donald Trump s hush money trial as he revealed what has made him restless about the proceedings.

Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover up hush money that he allegedly paid to porn actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election to keep her quiet about their earlier alleged affair.

Dean, who served as White House counsel to President Richard Nixon and later flipped on Nixon to cooperate with prosecutors, told CNN over the weekend that a lot of documents were involved in the case.

But, he pointed out, We dont know if they have or do not have information or witnesses or documents that directly link Donald Trump to the falsification of the documents or whether thats going to be something that has to be inferred by really overwhelming evidence that theres no other way it could have happened other than from his allowing it to happen.

Thats a thinner case, he explained. If they have a direct witness, or they have direct evidence, thats going to be a powerful case.

So, this is whats keeping me on the edge of my seat as I watch what unfolds, Dean added.
