Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein (Secretarial) Co-Signed Typed Letter On Washington Post Letterhead Regarding Understanding Nixon. The Watergate scandal spanned four years (1971-1974) that ultimately led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. The scandal stemmed from his administration's attempt to cover up its involvement in the 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel which connected the cash found on the five burglars to the Nixon Re-election Campaign.
Two young reporters for The Washington Post were teamed up in 1972 by legendary news editor Ben Bradlee with both engaging in much of the original news reporting of the Watergate scandal resulting in one of the greatest reporting efforts of the second half of the 20th Century. Both men went on to great success in writing numerous best-sellers on American politics.
