The "Plumbers" were a covert White House special investigations unit formed during the Nixon administration to stop or respond to leaks of classified information, particularly concerning the Vietnam War. Key members included G. Gordon Liddy, a former FBI agent, and E. Howard Hunt, a former CIA officer. Other notable members included Charles Colson, a special counsel to Nixon, and John Dean, who later became a whistleblower regarding the Watergate scandal. The group's most infamous operation was the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex.
