During the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon and his administration were discovered to have been involved in a burglary attempt at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in 1972. After a heavily publicized investigation and televised hearings, Nixon was ordered by the Supreme Court to turn over tapes from the Oval Office that eventually implicated him in the cover-up. The scandal resulted in Nixon’s resignation in 1974.
