Watergate Explained
This week marks the 50th anniversary of the June 17, 1972 Watergate break-in.
This occasion presents an opportunity to explain Watergate — what we know, what we don’t know, and what we are still learning.
To do this, the Richard Nixon Foundation has today released a new resource, “Watergate Explained,” now available on our website. This new historical resource guide takes you through the major elements of Watergate and references newly released documents from the National Archives that shed new light on this history today.
