History

Historical Context

The Watergate scandal began on June 17, 1972, when operatives linked to President Richard Nixon's re-election campaign were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters. Nixon's subsequent cover-up efforts led to his resignation on August 9, 1974, marking a pivotal moment in American politics that eroded public trust in government and underscored the necessity for transparency and accountability.
