Spiro Agnew's was not a result of Watergate.
President Richard Nixon's administration in the United States from 1972 to 1974 was embroiled in the massive political controversy known as "Watergate," which forced Nixon to resign. The scandal was caused by the Nixon administration's persistent efforts to hide its role in the June 17, 1972 break-in at the DNC headquarters at the Watergate Office Building in Washington, D.C.
The cash discovered on the five criminals at the time of their arrest was linked to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President by the media and the U.S. Justice Department. The U.S. House of Representatives granted expanded investigative jurisdiction to the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary after new investigations and revelations made during the burglars' later trials to inquire on "some things within its purview" and prompted the formation of the U.S. Senate's Watergate Committee.
The subsequent Senate Watergate hearings sparked popular attention and were broadcast "gavel-to-gavel" on PBS across the country. There was a voice-activated recording system in the Oval Office, according to witnesses, and Nixon approved plans to hide his administration's involvement in the break-in. Nixon's administration rejected the investigation's inquiries throughout, which caused a constitutional crisis.
