Explanation
Richard Milhous Nixon (1913 - 1994) was president of the United States between 1969 and 1974, the year he became the only president to resign from office. Richard Nixon was linked to the Watergate Scandal, which was a US political scandal of the 1970s caused by the theft of documents at the Watergate office complex in Washington DC, home of the National Committee of the United States Democratic Party, and the subsequent attempt by the Nixon administration to cover up those responsible through bribery and obstruction of justice.
When the conspiracy was uncovered, the United States Congress initiated an investigation, but the resistance of the Richard Nixon government to collaborate in this led to an institutional crisis. For their part, Nixon and his advisors orchestrated activities such as harassment of political opponents and persons or officials considered suspicious using police organizations or intelligence services, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA) or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The scandal uncovered multiple cases of abuse of power by the Nixon government, who finally decided to resign from the post of President of the United States in August 1974. The scandal involved a total of 69 people and 48 were found guilty and imprisoned; many of them had been senior officials of the Nixon government. So, the correct answer is True.
