In the early hours of June 17, 1972, five men were arrested inside the Democratic National Committee's offices on the sixth floor of the Watergate complex. Two years and 54 days later, on August 9, 1974, Richard Nixon became the only sitting U.S. president to resign. Between those dates lies the most thoroughly documented presidential cover-up in American history — and the deliberate destruction of careers, evidence, and finally the office itself.
