What did americans believe nixon was guilty of in the Watergate scandal?

Americans believed that President Nixon was guilty of covering up a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex, which occurred during the 1972 presidential campaign. They suspected he was involved in orchestrating the break-in and then sought to obstruct justice by using his power to suppress the investigation. The revelation of recorded conversations and evidence of a systematic effort to mislead the public intensified these beliefs, ultimately leading to Nixon's resignation in 1974.
