These five men broke into the Headquarters for the Democratic National Committee, which was located in the Watergate hotel. This triggered the entire scandal and eventually led to Nixon’s demise.
Watergate Criminals: The Plumbers
John Ehrlichman: Leader of the Plumbers

W. Mark Felt aka Deep Throat
Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward were journalists for the Washington Post who uncovered the truth about the Nixon Administration. Bob Woodward received a large amount of information from W. Mark Felt, an important FBI agent. He gave Woodward leads and confirmed or denied the validity of information he learned about the case. It was dangerous for his identity to be known, so he was called Deep Throat. Walter Cronkite, a legendary CBS News Anchor, released two lengthy stories about Watergate and helped show Americans the truth.
