Richard Nixon wins re-election in one of the biggest landslides in American history. Less than two years later, he becomes the first and only U.S. president to resign. So, how did it all fall apart? In Part Two, we get into Nixon’s growing paranoia, the creation of CREEP, the increasingly unhinged schemes of the people around him, and the break-in at the Watergate complex that started the unraveling. We take you inside what actually happened that night, before following the investigation, the secret White House tapes and the cover-up that ultimately reached all the way to the President. This is the break-in, the cover-up and the bitter end of Richard Nixon’s presidency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is how we got to Watergate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
