The Department of Justice should be investigating former president Donald Trump for, among other things, witness tampering after he dangled pardons to Capitol insurrectionists, according to former White House counsel John Dean.
After playing a clip of Trump doubling down on his pardon offer in an interview with Newsmax this week, CNN host Jim Acosta asked Dean on Saturday: "Is this witness tampering? It sure sounds like it."
"Boy, it sounds like it to me," Dean responded. "Under the obstruction statute, you don't have to actually succeed in obstruction and (only) endeavor to do so. And this sounds an awful lot like an endeavor to me, where he's telling witnesses: 'Don't cooperate. If I get re-elected, I've got your back. Bet on me.' So you know, as I say, if the Justice Department isn't tracking this stuff, I don't know what our Justice Department is for."
