Briefly describe the Watergate scandal and how the white house reacted to it?
The Watergate scandal was a political scandal in the United States in the 1970s, resulting from the break-in into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. Effects of the scandal ultimately led to the resignation of the United States President Richard Nixon on August 9, 1974. In June of 1972 in Washington, D.C. an event occurred, a burglary, which ended up holding worldwide importance. It was on this date that five people broke into the Democratic National Headquarters to bug their telephones. These men were members of the 'Plumbers', a group of anti-Castro Cuban refugees, former FBI agents and former CIA agents among others. The group was strongly Republican. The place they broke into was The Watergate Hotel. Many people remember the name Watergate as a blanket term used to describe the fall of President Richard Nixon.

Why did Richard Nixon lie?
Well, a great many things, but he stood up in front of the cameras and famously denied everything about the Watergate scandal and said "I am not a crook!" And then the tapes proved he ordered the break-in and in fact WAS a crook. Nixon was a little before my time, but my understanding is that he wasn't a terrible president aside from the big scandal. He wasn't great or anything, but if not for Watergate he most likely would have been remembered as an average to above average president. Closing the gold window was idiotic, but he founded the EPA, made the gestures to China that opened them to trade with the west, and did a great many other things. Like I said - mixed bag. But he's only remembered for Watergate.
