Full Story:
Despite initially denying any knowledge of the break-in, evidence gradually emerged indicating that Nixon had played a significant role in the cover-up that followed. The Watergate scandal became a political crisis that shook the foundations of American democracy, as the public became increasingly aware of the extent of the corruption and abuse of power that had taken place within the highest levels of government.
As the scandal unfolded, the media coverage became relentless, and public opinion turned sharply against Nixon. The House Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment against the president for obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress. Rather than face certain impeachment and removal from office, Nixon chose to resign on August 8, 1974, becoming the first U.S. president ever to do so.
The Watergate scandal has become a symbol of political corruption and the dangers of unchecked presidential power. It led to numerous reforms to improve transparency and accountability in government, and to restore public trust in the American political system. Despite its painful legacy, the Watergate scandal remains a critical turning point in American history, serving as a reminder of the importance of democratic principles and the need for government to serve the public interest rather than the interests of a select few.
It didn't rock the nation, it rocked the world of the news purveyors.
