Answer

The Watergate Building was the site of a break-in by operatives working for President Richard Nixon's Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP) in June 1972. The break-in was part of a larger plan to spy on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and sabotage its campaign efforts. The Watergate scandal eventually led to Nixon's resignation in August 1974.
