The watergate tapes are the series of tapes that was used as the main evidence to impeach Nixon. The tapes were recordings of every conversation Nixon had in his office about the Watergate scandal, they contained evidence that Nixon was trying to cover up his involvement in the scandal.
There is no evidence to suggest he ever did.
Nixon ran against Democrat George S. McGovern in the 1968 election and won.
Richard M. Nixon lost to John F. Kennedy in the 1960 Presidential election.
Nixon sent 5 men into the Watergate building into the Democratic offices. This was not only illegal and an attempt to get information to use in the election, but dirty tricks on Nixon's part. The evidence came from his own words. The Oval Office had a tape system and everything Nixon said was recorded. The instructions to the burglars and what he wanted. After the cover up was discovered men like G. Gordon Liddy ( who organized the break in) had to tell the truth because he was also on the recordings. Several books have been written by the men in the break in and the administration. Nixon in a David Frost interview made a revealing comment about presidential power. He stated that a president was beyond the law. A reenactment has been made of this interview I suggest you find and watch it especially if you are studying Nixon.

In 1974, a vote to impeach Richard Nixon for the Watergate scandal looked like it would be successful. Nixon resigned, making Gerald Ford the President of the United States. Ford then issued a blanket pardon for Nixon, which prevented a likely criminal indictment of Nixon.
