Wayde Hall- The President Calling

I chose President Nixon Addressing Nation Regarding Scandal (Watergate Affair)

The Watergate scandal in general was when several burglars where caught breaking in to the Watergate building, Washington D.C., where they attempted tap phones and steal classified documents. Nixon claimed he had no knowledge of this yet he attempted to cover it up? Why would he cover up something that shouldn't involve him? Nixon

bugged his own offices as well as his colleagues, as said in the official “The President Calling” by Stephen Smith. He could simply be trying to help a friend or cover up some of his own actions. Either way due to this info I highly doubt he wasn't in some way, small or large, involved in the Watergate scandal.
