What happened at the Watergate scandal and Nixon's resignation
The Watergate scandal began in June 1972 when operatives connected to President Nixon's re-election campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. Subsequent investigations by journalists, Congress, and a special prosecutor revealed a broader pattern of political espionage, illegal surveillance, and efforts by Nixon's administration to obstruct the investigation. Secret White House tape recordings implicated Nixon directly in the cover-up. Facing near-certain impeachment and removal by Congress, Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974, and was succeeded by Vice President Gerald Ford. The scandal deeply damaged public trust in American government institutions.
