Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Watergate

Democracy Now! interviews about the Watergate Scandal. On June 17th, 1972, police answered a call at the Watergate office complex and found five men burglarizing the office of the Democratic National Committee. They had been hired by staff members of the committee to re-elect Republican President Richard Nixon. Two years later, Nixon resigned the presidency in disgrace.
