President Trump lashed out at former Nixon White House counsel John W. Dean III, calling him a “sleazebag” ahead of his planned appearance at a House hearing Monday on the findings of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.

In tweets, Trump also took aim at House Democrats for continuing to focus on the report by Mueller that details findings of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election as well as possible episodes of obstruction of the probe by Trump.

Dean, whose congressional testimony in 1973 was key to the demise of President Richard M. Nixon, has frequently criticized Trump’s actions related to the Russian probe in his role as a CNN contributor.

And only a corrupt crook would oppose the truth like he does to hide their criminal activities.

For exposing the truth, but he won't mention his trusted lawyer Roy Cohen had people expose others often for his clients to get off with little or no consequences for their crimes. trump would squeal too if he could get off too. Dean was too smart to let Nixon get away with his crimes by him lying , and knew it would get exposed anyway. Now trumps loyal few are in that situation, and risk prison if they lie instead of telling the truth.
