Former Nixon WH counsel says Mueller did not 'vigorously pursue' Trump subpoena

Former White House counsel John Dean, whose testimony in the Watergate investigation helped topple Richard Nixon's presidency, said former special counsel Robert Mueller did not 'vigorously pursue' subpoenaing President Trump as part of his probe

Washington Former White House counsel John Dean, whose testimony in the Watergate investigation helped topple Richard Nixon's presidency, said Wednesday that Robert Mueller did not"vigorously pursue" subpoenaing President Donald Trump as part of his special counsel's investigation.

Mueller appeared Wednesday before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees in the two most highly anticipated hearings of the Trump presidency to testify about his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
