Watergate Scandal
The Watergate scandal was a major political scandal in the United States involving the administration of President Richard Nixon from 1972 to 1974 that led to Nixon's resignation. The scandal stemmed from the Nixon administration's continual attempts to cover up its involvement in the June 17, 1972, break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Washington, D.C., Watergate Office Building.

Witnesses testified that Nixon had approved plans t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
