History

Historical Context

After the June 17, 1972 Watergate break-in, the Senate formed the Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities in February 1973, chaired by Sam Ervin. Its May-July hearings aired live, yielding a 1,250-page report and more than 300 hours of TV that contributed to President Richard Nixon’s August 9, 1974 resignation. Today, Democrats Rep. Robert Garcia and Rep. Jamie Raskin invoke that legacy while probing former President Donald Trump’s crypto assets.
