White House counsel to former President Nixon, John Dean, delivered a sharp public rebuke of President Trump, calling the current president “evil.”
Dean tweeted that Trump makes the “long nightmare” of Watergate “seem like a brief idyllic daydream.”

Trump’s is making the long nightmare of Nixon’s Watergate seem like a brief idyllic daydream. History will treat Nixon’s moral failures as relatively less troubling than Trump’s sustained and growing decadence, deviousness and self-delusive behavior. Nixon=corrupt; Trump=evil.
The former White House counsel became a key witness for prosecutors during the Watergate scandal after pleading guilty to one count of obstruction of justice.
Dean has criticized Trump before, but his comments have largely focused on the special counsel investigation and possible legal troubles plaguing the Trump administration.
