Watergate Miniseries Plot
Watergate miniseries on History looks at many of the same things being debated today on a national level, including executive privilege and the handling of Presidential misconduct.
On the night of June 17, 1972, a security guard in the Watergate office complex in Washington, DC called the police when he found a door repeatedly taped open. The police discovered five men dressed in business suits who were in the process of installing bugs and photographing documents in the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. Thus began the most explosive scandal in American history – a scandal that brought down the Presidency of Richard M. Nixon and sent over 40 people to jail.
The series includes new interviews with journalists, senior Nixon Administration officials, members of Congress, and prosecutors. It is a story that touches on Vietnam, the unrest of the 1960s, a near World War, the opening of China, and the moment when an unlikely group of heroes from both political parties band together and bring down the White House.
