What was Nixon's reaction to Watergate?

Answer 1

President Nixon's initial reaction to the Watergate scandal was to deny any wrongdoing and to label the allegations as politically motivated. As more evidence emerged and the scandal continued to unfold, Nixon's responses shifted, including attempts to prevent the release of incriminating evidence and the use of executive privilege to keep his White House tapes confidential. Ultimately, the mounting evidence and pressure from Congress led to Nixon's resignation on August 9, 1974, becoming the only U.S. president to resign from office.
