History

Historical Context

The Watergate scandal began on June 17, 1972, when five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters. Investigative reporting by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein revealed a cover-up that implicated President Nixon, leading to his resignation on August 9, 1974. Today, similar accusations against President Biden echo this historical precedent, potentially influencing the 2024 election landscape.
