-Water Gate Scandal

Major political scandal that President Nixon claims he knew nothing about and not sure if he did but he did try to cover it up. There was a taping system in the mobile office and then they ruled that he had to hand them over and he deleted a lot of things. It was a break in at the democratic national committee headquarters in Washington. There were 5 buglers total. Told that it was connected to President Nixon’s reelection campaign the burglars had been caught while attempting to wiretap the phones and steal secret documents but wiretaps didn’t work right. After the conspiracy had come out the president resigned. His successor Ford immediately pardoned Nixon for all the crimes he may have committed while in office. They broke in to find dirt on the democrats because they wanted Nixon for president again. Woodward and Berstein- They thought there was more to it. Deep throat (felt) told them to trace the money and it was the general attorney.
