History

Historical Context

The Watergate scandal, which began with a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters on June 17, 1972, led to President Richard Nixon's resignation on August 9, 1974, after the Supreme Court ordered the release of incriminating tapes. This pivotal moment in U.S. history highlighted the need for governmental transparency and accountability, a theme echoed in the recent release of Jeffrey Epstein documents involving high-profile figures.
