It was the biggest political scandal of the 20th century. Join Washington Post Live as we cover the 50th anniversary of the Watergate break-in from very different angles, across three programs. We’ll go inside the case against Nixon with a key Republican member of Congress who voted to impeach President Nixon and the man at the head of the Watergate Task Force; we hear from inside the Nixon White House with a pair of loyalists who watched the scandal unfold from inside the oval office: and we take you inside the story with the two Washington Post reporters who originally broke the story and launched a chain of events that would convulse Washington for two years, leading to the first resignation of a U.S. president and changing American politics forever.
