Born October 14, 1938 in Akron

John Wesley Dean III (born October 14, 1938) is a disbarred American attorney who served as White House Counsel for U.S. President Richard Nixon from July 1970 until April 1973. Dean is known for his role in the cover-up of the Watergate scandal and his subsequent testimony to Congress as a witness. His guilty plea to a single felony in exchange for becoming a key witness for the prosecution ultimately resulted in a reduced sentence, which he served at Fort Holabird in Southeast Baltimore, Maryland. After his plea, he was disbarred. Shortly after the Watergate hearings, Dean wrote about his experiences in a series of books and toured the United States to lecture.
