Richard Nixon
Five Men Were Caught breaking Into The Democratic party Headquarters
The Democratic party headquarters, Watergate complex, Washington, D.C., U.S.
The term Watergate has come to encompass an array of clandestine and often illegal activities undertaken by members of the Nixon administration. Those activities included "dirty tricks," such as bugging the offices of political opponents, and the harassment of activist groups and political figures. The activities were brought to light after five men were caught breaking into the Democratic party headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. on June 17, 1972.
