The Watergate affair (17 июн 1972 г. – 1 авг 1974 г.)

Описание:

The Watergate scandal was a major federal political scandal in the United States involving the administration of President Richard Nixon from 1972 to 1974. The scandal stemmed from the June 17, 1972, break-in of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate Office Building in Washington, D.C., by five men and the Nixon Administration's subsequent attempts to cover-up its involvement in the crime. Soon after the men were arrested, the press and the U.S. Justice Department discovered a connection between cash found on them at the time and a slush fund used by the Nixon re-election campaign committee.
