The video covers the Watergate scandal, starting with the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and the subsequent investigation that linked the crime to President Nixon's re-election campaign. It details the trials of the burglars, Nixon's involvement in the cover-up, and the release of incriminating tapes. Facing impeachment, Nixon resigned, and Gerald Ford succeeded him, later pardoning Nixon for any crimes committed during his presidency.
