Almost exactly 50 years ago, on August 8, 1974, President Richard Nixon gave a televised address unlike any that a U.S. president had ever given before. He began by noting that it was his 37th time addressing the nation and stated that he’d spent the last several decades of his life in public service. But, as Nixon noted, he had lost the support of his political base in Congress. The Watergate scandal, which had grown in intensity over the last two years, had consumed him and the nation.
What convinced Nixon to finally resign? And how much did the president really know about Watergate? This is the full story of Richard Nixon's resignation, from what preceded to what came after the shocking moment.
