“They want a Redo, or Do Over,” Trump argued of House Democrats Sunday evening. “They are even bringing in CNN sleazebag attorney John Dean. Sorry, no Do Overs – Go back to work!”

Dean, currently a contributor to CNN, was a lawyer for President Richard Nixon’s White House, and became a key witness during the Watergate hearings.

The House Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY), announced hearings would be held as part of an effort to highlight the findings of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report and as the House weighs launching an impeachment inquiry against Trump.

Only about 50 Democrats have said publicly that they support launching impeachment hearings.

Dean is expected to testify Monday.
