This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of the Watergate scandal, tracing its origins from a break-in at the Democratic National Committee and the ensuing cover-up that implicated high-profile figures, including President Nixon's aides. The narrative highlights the pivotal role of investigative journalism and the legal battles that followed, culminating in Nixon's historic resignation amid overwhelming evidence of wrongdoing. Additionally, it explores the CIA's involvement and the broader implications for U.S. political integrity, including the connection to the Pentagon Papers and national security debates.
Former Nixon White House staffer Geoff Shepard has uncovered new evidence that Watergate was a deep state coup, and they are using the same playbook on Trump.
