Watergate Scandal (1972)
On June 17, 1972, five men were arrested after breaking into the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters in the Watergate complex located in Washington, D.C. Although Richard Nixon won the election five months later, the FBI determined that all five men had links to the White House. It was then revealed that the men were members of the Committee to Re-elect the President—or CREEP.
