The Watergate break-in started when a group of men, known as the "plumbers," broke into the Democratic headquarters. They were arrested for this break-in.
Shortly after this two reporters from the Washington Post (Woodward and Bernstein) found that the current US president, Richard Nixon, might have been involved in ordering this break-in. Their confidential source provided details on how Nixon was involved.
Nixon denied these claims. However, a full scale investigation was launched. During this investigation, the court ordered Nixon to hand over recorded conversations from his office in the White House.
