A prominent figure in the Watergate scandal, which led to President Richard Nixon’s resignation, will be a featured speaker at a public forum Saturday on the abuse of executive power.
John Dean, who was White House counsel for Nixon and a star witness in the Watergate hearings, will be joined by University of Wisconsin-Madison law professor Stanley Kutler for the forum, “Executive Power: Worse Than Watergate?” The forum will start at 9 a.m. in UW-Madison’s Mitchell Theatre in Vilas Hall, 821 University Ave.
