The Plumbers was an informal name for a covert White House Special Investigation Unit in the Nixon Administration that was tasked with stopping leaks to the news media such as the Pentagon Papers. Its members got involved with illegal activities like the Watergate break-in while working for CREEP (The Committee to Re-elect the President).

Members of the Plumbers included E. Howard Hunt, Charles Colson, and G. Gordon Liddy.
