Nixon's campaign workers hired a group of burglars, known as the "White House Plumbers," to break into the Democratic National Committee headquarters, located at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. This break-in, which occurred on June 17, 1972, was part of a broader effort to gather intelligence on political opponents. The ensuing scandal ultimately led to President Nixon's resignation in 1974.
