Watergate Break-In : 45 Years Ago

June 17, 2017 | SuzyQ

On the morning of June 17, 1972, five burglars were arrested inside the office of the Democratic National Committee which was located in the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C.  An FBI investigation discovered there was a connection between cash found on the burglars and a slush fund used by the Committee for the Re-Election of the President, which was the official organization of President Richard Nixon's campaign.This led led to the discovery of multiple abuses of power by the Nixon administration, articles of impeachment, and ultimately the resignation of Nixon.
