'I think that more indictments are coming, and I think they'll be broad-based and there'll be a general conspiracy indictment,' said Dean, President Richard Nixon's White House counsel.
John Dean famously served as White House counsel to President Richard Nixon and provided key, damning testimony that helped lead to Nixon's eventual resignation. Speaking on television Thursday evening, Dean speculated that more indictments might come from the probe from special counsel Robert Mueller.
"I'm with Carl on believing there may be more indictments. I've felt that all along, [Mueller] has been building various cases through indictments," Dean said on CNN."Conspiracy cases. We have witnesses like [Rick] Gates who they've asked to hold off for 60 days until they complete the work with him. There are other witnesses that are out there. I just don't see a wrap on it at this time.
"It could be simultaneously. If there's a rumor in town [that the Mueller report is coming]—I don't know who's putting the rumor out, I don't have a clue—I wonder if the White House is doing it, trying to build up all this to make it appear the investigation is being dragged out," Dean speculated. "That would be a smart play, if that's what they're doing and nothing comes.
The comments from Dean contrast with recent reporting on the matter. CNN crime and justice reporter Shimon Prokupecz said on-air directly after Dean's comments:"I don't think there are going to be any more indictments, in terms of the Mueller team." ABC News reported Friday that"sources familiar with the investigation believe there are no more indictments coming from the special counsel.
