Watergate

 Watergate Scandal first came out in 1974 when there was a break-in at the Democratic National Committee Headquarter at the Watergate Complex. Although it was first assumed to be a simple robbery, further investigation revealed that there was a connection to Committee to re-elect the president and the president Nixon himself. Although he tried to cover up his connections, especially the tape of wiretapping, the U.S. Supreme Court declared him to hand over the tape. As a result, President Nixon resigned before he was impeached.
