Description: 1974 Orange County CALIFORNIA newspaper - PRESIDENT NIXON RESIGNS in the aftermath of the Watergate Scandal - inv #6Z-304 SEE PHOTO-----An ORIGINAL complete NEWSPAPER, the Valley News ( Van Nuys, CA) dated Aug 9, 1974. This issue has a very dramatic display with a bold banner headline and large photos announcing the RESIGNATION of PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON in the aftermath of the WATERGATE SCANDAL. Watergate was a major political scandal that occurred in the United States in the 1970s, following a break-in at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. and President Richard Nixon's administration's attempted cover-up of its involvement. When the conspiracy was discovered and investigated by the U.S. Congress, the Nixon administration's resistance to its probes led to a constitutional crisis. The term Watergate has come to encompass an array of clandestine and often illegal activities undertaken by members of the Nixon administration. Those activities included such "dirty tricks" as bugging the offices of political opponents and people of whom Nixon or his officials were suspicious. Nixon and his close aides ordered harassment of activist groups and political figures, using the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The scandal led to the discovery of multiple abuses of power by the Nixon administration, articles of impeachment, and the resignation of Nixon as President of the United States on August 9, 1974. The scandal also resulted in the indictment of 69 people, with trials or pleas resulting in 25 being found guilty and incarcerated, many of whom were Nixon's top administration officials. Good condition, with a few closed tears with tape repair. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it. STEPHEN A.
