Watergate Break In

During the 1972 presidential campaign, burglars, tied to the Nixon White House, were caught installing eavesdropping devices in Democratic Party headquarters in the Watergate Complex in Washington, D. C. Revelations of White House efforts to obstruct the investigation of the break in, of financial irregularities, and the use of government agencies for partisan purposes led President Nixon to resign in 1974.
