Dean-Ackerman Interview
As White House Counsel to Richard Nixon, John Dean played a pivotal role during the Watergate scandal. Now, on the anniversary of Dean’s famous “cancer on the Presidency” warning to Nixon, the Museum of Political Corruption presents an exclusive interview with John Dean. Hear what the John Dean has to say about corruption then and now, and what we can do to make our government better.
Statement on the Death of Alexei Navalny
The Museum of Political Corruption mourns the tragic death of the heroic, anti-corruption leader Alexei Navalny. Navalny was the founder of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, a nonprofit organization that exposed corruption at the highest levels of Russian government. Navalny gave his life serving his country and indeed all humanity. The forces of evil which murdered him will never extinguish his dream that all Russians live good, joyous lives under a just and ethical government.
