On June 25, 1973, White House counsel John Dean told a U.S. Senate committee that President Richard Nixon was involved in the cover-up of the Watergate break-in. Dean's testimony marked a turning point in the investigation, directly implicating the president for the first time.
Other notable events on this date include the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn, where Lt. Col. George Custer and his 208 men were killed by Sioux warriors. In 1950, North Korean forces invaded South Korea, starting the Korean War. The first color television broadcast aired on CBS in 1951, though no color TV sets were owned by the public at the time.
