A man named Alex Butterfield released information that president Nixon had tapes he was keeping secret. Nixon had also given out hush money to the burglars so they don't say anything.

Was President Nixon impeached as a result of the Watergate scandal?
Yes. President Nixon was impeached. However, we first must define impeachment. Impeachment is the trial that Nixon went through. He was found guilty (obviously guilty) and was therefore impeached. After he was found guilty there were discussions on whether to "fire" him from his job as president but Nixon quit before anything could happen. He therefore was able to keep the benefits that any former president would have and (sort of but not really) save face.
