"[b]The White House Counsel for former U.S. President Richard Nixon has described the memo written by fired FBI director James Comey as a “smoking gun” and drew parallels between the affair and the Watergate scandal that in 1974 brought down his former boss.[/b]

In an interview Tuesday with CNN, John Dean—who served as Nixon’s counsel—likens Comey memo to the so-called “smoking gun tape,” when it was revealed that the former president tried to halt an FBI investigation.

[b]The release of the tape on August 5, 1974, led to a collapse in support for Nixon among Republican lawmakers who until then had refused to back calls for his impeachment. Nixon resigned three days later.[/b][/quote]
