During the 1972 presidential elections, an overzealous Republican effort to re-elect President Richard Nixon lead to a break-in and wiretapping of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Office Building in Washington D.C. This bungled effort to eavesdrop on the Democrats and the subsequent cover-up by Nixon and high-level members of his administration, created a constitutional crisis that ended with the resignation of President Nixon in 1974.
Fred La Rue, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges, coordinated the cover-up of President Nixon’s involvement in the Democratic National Committee break-in. La Rue served as Special Council to the Whitehouse during Nixon’s first term, and as Assistant to John Mitchell who chaired the Committee to Re-elect the President in 1972. La Rue’s role as a conspirator was paying “hush money” to the Watergate burglars to hide the Nixon Administration’s involvement in the break-in of the Democratic National Committee.
