//** Chapter 6 Shaelyn, Sean, and Coco **//

Concerning the events of Watergate, President Nixon would be subjugated to many questions from the press. On November 17, 1973 he would participate in an hour-long televised Q&A with over 400 editors from various presses.​ Despite the suspicion, he would maintain his innocence and even promised to supply more details concerning the matter with presidential records and tapes. In a famous statement he would declare "[|I am not a crook]" While he was tense and misspoke during the interview he answered all questions without difficulty. In fact he was described to be very talkative during the interval of questioning and even raised a question or two on his own. The one thing that he did take responsibility for that day was that he had made a mistake in not looking more closely at campaign activities, going out of his way to say that he did not want to be known as a president that did many things, but let his own campaign get out of hand. He would end on the note that he would write to all of the editors about all the facts. His final statement being, "I trust that you will use them...but if you feel you need more information, write to me and I will give it to you."

__**December 7, 1973:**__ On December 7, 1973 an 18 ½-minute gap was found in a subpoenaed tape that recorded a conversation between President Nixon and Mr. Haldeman. When asked about it the White House had not explanation but Chief of Staff Alexander Haig has been quoted to say "some sinister force" erased the segment. President Nixon and Mr. Haldeman were talking about the bugging at the Democratic National Committee headquarters on June 20, 1972 in Mr. Nixon's Executive Office Building suite, but later it was denied that what this meaning was actually about. Archibald Cox's subpoena, Buzhardt, said "there is every reason to infer that the meeting included discussion of the Watergate incident." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l1j6UgFeAI // **__//July 24, 1974://__** On July 24th, 1974 President Nixon was to surrender the tape recordings of White House conversations about the Watergate Affair. The Supreme Court voted unanimously and rejected Nixon's claims of executive privilege. These tapes covered roughly 64 conversations between the months of June 1972-April 1974. They helped to cover up a break-in at the Watergate hotel headquarters of the Democratic National Committee during the election campaign in 1972. The people that were caught were found bugging the President’s opponent and went through confidential papers. The five burglars, along with Nixon's co-workers of the scandal were later caught and imprisoned. Even some of the White House aids were involved in this scandal like Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell, Charles Colson, Gordon C. Strachan, Robert Mardian, and Kenneth Parkinson This day was important because it was the United States of America against President Nixon. Not even a month later, on August 9, 1974, Nixon resigned from office before the people could discuss his impeachment . // President Nixon addresses Congress The Watergate Hotel that took place in the Watergate Scandals //
