Watergate footnote that grew into a public scandal
The Watergate affair evolved from a minor note in Nixon's re election campaign into a full blown national scandal. Details emerge of the break in at the Democratic National Committee, the ensuing cover up, and the involvement of White House aides, the firing of top officials, and the long battle over tapes. Nixon faced impeachment pressure as revelations mounted about hush money, subpoenas, and investigative stonewalling. The case shifted from a political glitch to a constitutional crisis.
