When President Nixon finally turned in transcripts of the Watergate tapes, the transcripts showed that Nixon had covered up the Watergate Scandal.
While Nixon did not plan the Watergate break-in, because of the politics involved, he decided to cover-up the scandal so that the Republicans had the higher chance to win. Because of this cover-up, it led to Nixon's resignation, as well as the impeachment of many of Nixon's officials.
