...Haldeman and Dean were still in agreement. Then, Haldeman testified, Nixon added five crucial words: "But it would be wrong." Those five words, claims the indictment, as Haldeman "then and there well knew, were false." They, of course, change Nixon's position completely. Instead of agreeing to pay Hunt hush money, as Dean charged, the President was portrayed...
Haldeman, too, is accused of perjury in his Senate testimony. He denied having been aware that money formerly under his control and later paid to the Watergate defendants was meant as blackmail or hush money.

Denied access to his files in the White House, Dean largely constructed his remarkably detailed account from memory. There are two serious discrepancies between Dean's testimony and the White House summary, however...
