this room and the next contain my archives. it s magazines, newspaper articles, depositions, documents. everything relating to watergate. i was 31 when i went to the nixon white house to work. i have no intention of ever walking away from the job that the people elected me to do. the job forever changed the trajectory of my life. we re not on the road to fascism. but we re dangerously close to it. these are the events that are going to follow me to my grave. i told the president that there was a cancer growing on the presidency. we will never give up, we will never concede. we will stop the steal. here we are, 50 years later, and the events of watergate are as relevant as they have ever been. there will not be a cover-up, there will not be an abuse of power. weapons of mass destruction. open up, you traitor! my name is john dean. i was richard nixon s white house counsel. the morning of june 17th, 1972, i got a call saying they ve got this strange,
the wiretapping of his political opponents. conspiracy, extortion, blackmail. high crimes against the very structure of our constitutional state. the nixon/agnew team receives an overwhelming mandate from the american voters, sweeping every state but one, massachusetts. as a result of the cover-up, richard nixon stayed in office a lot longer than he should have. but imagine if the american people had known in the summer of 1972 the extent to which richard nixon had participated in criminal enterprises. it s not just a desire for political power. it s a lust. i mean, that s what nixon said. i lust for power . the man in the middle in the watergate scandal is 34-year-old john wesley dean, iii. i thought the cover-up was going to end after the election. i was wrong. i have no prior knowledge of the watergate break-ins. it s going to get worse, much worse. seven men went on trial today in a washington federal court charged with the break-in and burglary of d
routine traffic stop, which would probably result either in a warning or a citation being issued, turned into a pursuit. as mr. walker turned onto the entrance ramp to route 8 and the shot is fired, that changes the nature of the contact. 40 seconds after the initiation of the traffic stop, a half mile from the location of the traffic stop, you hear the gunshot and everything else i ve just discould have had and, again, that changes the whole nature of the traffic stop. it went from being a routine traffic stop to now a public safety issue. let s go now to cnn correspondent paolo sandoval. the attorney for the walker family says he never shot at officers. tell us more what we re seeing in the newly released body cam video. reporter: jessica, we have seen lately, at least in the last couple of hours, that call for justice and the call for answers is certainly amplified with the release of the video. people outside akron police headquarters here, many people have seen this

first glimpse. with regard to the responding officers, as you mentioned, this deepens the question about the total police response and why they did not act sooner to try to take down the gunman. according to investigators and other people who have looked at this photograph, they are baffled as to why police did not act sooner, knowing that they had in their minds, in the minds of people who have reviewed this evidence, that they had not only the sufficient equipment but sufficient firepower to try to breach that classroom door. because it wasn t a pistol of theirs versus an ar-15-style rifle of his, right? they were matching him on firepower. well, brianna, that s actually a very good point. initially i think the public, to some extent, was led to believe that those early responding officers and while it may be true for the earliest responding officers, but i think the public was led to believe that officers and those early minutes only had pistols, as a matter of fact i
