Answer to Question #112915 in History for Raheem

Question

What happened to Nixon aides Haldeman and Ehrlichman that makes Nixon look guilty of some kind of cover-up?

Answer 1

Watergate had something to do with a break-in at the Watergate building in Washington, DC. But it's not really the break-in itself that ended Richard Nixon's presidency so much as the fact that the ensuing investigation revealed a tangled web of wrongdoing of almost unfathomable scale and complexity, implicating the highest levels of the White House up to and including the president.
