Best Answer

he was found guilty because there were tapes of him on the phone talking about how the watergate incident had to be covered up and fast. Also because in 1974 people were writing articles of impeachment for him but he resigned, and honestly if your that scared to face and impeachment to resign instead, then your obviously guilty about something.

No. Nixon never faced criminal charges and resigned before he could be impeached, so he was never tried for anything that could result in a guilty verdict.

US v. Nixon, (1974), was an appeal of a court order issued by Judge John Sirrica of the US District Court for the District of Columbia commanding Nixon to turn over tapes of phone calls and meetings Nixon made regarding the Watergate cover-up. Leon Jaworski, the Special Prosecutor heading the Watergate investigation subpoenaed the tapes, but Nixon refused to provide them, claiming they were protected under the doctrine of Executive Privilege.

The US Supreme Court upheld the District Court's decision and told Nixon he couldn't withhold the tapes. Nixon grudgingly complied with the order, but resigned from office on August 9, 1974, approximately a week later.

President Gerald Ford later pardoned Nixon for any criminal activity involving Watergate, so he never had to stand trial in the Senate OR in federal court.

not at all he wasn't even involved in that Watergate thing that was a couple of minor scribes acting of their own free will all he did was cover it up when he found out, but I guarantee you that every president has done that sort of thing if they could, he was a good president and well liked in my town.

No. Although he resigned the Office of The Presidency under the threat of Impeachment, he was never formally charged with any offense(s).
