The Watergate was a big scandal in the 1970’s. President Nixon was involved in the Watergate scandal, which forced him to resign from office. The whole thing started when five men went to the Watergate complex in Washington D.C. for a burglary. The burglars planned to photograph documents outlining Democratic Party strategy.
Once the security caught people breaking in, they quickly tried to cover it all up. The workers tried to shred all the documents in Haldeman’s office. President Nixon had asked the F.B.I to stop with the investigations with the Watergate burglary. The committee to reelect the president (CRP) had passed out $450,000 to all of the Watergate burglars to buy their silence and not rat out President Nixon.
The Americans’ didn’t really pay that much to the attention to the whole Watergate burglary. Each day reporters were finding out new information on the burglary. The white house was denying every new post. In November 1972 Nixon was reelected.
In 1973, the Watergate burglars trail began. On March 20 James McCord sent a letter to Sirica, which said he had lied under oath and that there were powerful people of Nixon’s administration that were involved. On May 1973 the senate began its own investigation to find out if President Nixon was also involved.
A man named, John Dean, declared that the Nixon was strongly involved in the cover ups. Not only Dean said that but they also said that Nixon had tapings and that information was useful. That info revealed that Nixon was involved in the whole Watergate burglary. On August 5 Nixon released the tapes and then resigned as the president.
