At 2:30 am, June 17th, 1972 five men were arrested for breaking into the democratic headquarters office complex in Washington DC. It is also one of Washington’s plushest hotels. Without Frank Willis, an on duty security guard, the scandal may never have been interrupted. He walked in on them trying to steal private documents and wiretap the phones to listen to the conversations. They all also had on rubber surgical gloves so their fingerprints couldn’t be traced.
When this all first happened, nobody knew why. Once people did, Americans started to think all the people in the government were corrupt and they started not to trust them. Some people didn’t think there was a big story behind it, but in reality there was. Next August, Richard Milhous Nixon got reelected as president. Great for him right? No. Ties started turning up that related Nixon to the Scandal. Nixon denied everything about it and started to cover things up. He then started to ignore the Scandal. Yet did he know, it was far from being completed.
You may ask “What really happened?” or “How and why was Nixon involved?” and “How (and if) it got uncovered in the end?” Well my friends, stay tuned to find out.
