Nixon's violation of the Fifth Amendment is primarily associated with the Watergate scandal, where he attempted to obstruct justice by withholding evidence and refusing to comply with subpoenas. The Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination, but Nixon’s actions were viewed as an effort to manipulate legal processes and suppress evidence that could have incriminated him and his administration. Additionally, his use of executive privilege to avoid accountability raised concerns about due process and fair trial rights. These actions led to significant legal challenges and ultimately contributed to his resignation.
