The scandal began on June 17, 1972. Just two weeks after Nixon had returned from a critical Russian Summit, several burglars were arrested in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington DC. The robbers weren't were connected to President Richard Nixon's reelection campaign, and they had been caught stealing documents and wiretapping phones to hide Nixon's abused power. After the incident, Nixon took multiple initiatives to cover up the crime, but in August of 1974, Nixon resigned as the media eventually revealed the truth. The incident forever changed the interactions between the people's trust and the President.

Good pictures, but you could've talked more about what the burglars did, and how they specifically took plans from the Democratic houses, or how the burglars had been connected to Nixon before.
