Is The White House Plumbers based on a true story?
Yes, White House Plumbers is based on a real life political scandal that took place in the United States during 1970s.
It all began with a group of people who were working for President Nixon’s re-election campaign. Every presidential candidate has it. Right! So, what’s the big deal?
Actually, they installed some listening devices into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office building to spy on their rival politicians. The scam was named Watergate scandal, after all, it was a big mess.
The funny part is, President Nixon’s re-election campgain was called CREEP!!! Committee to Re-elect the President committee was caught red handedly by the authorities and when they were investigated by top journalists, they find the wires of the illegal activities were much deeper than they ever imagined.
But who were the plumbers?? The infamous covert operatives who were responsible for the break-in.
The reporters were presenting new evidences on live TV against the US president and the plumbers involved in the scandal. However, Nixon kept on denying the claims but the evidences were piling up leaving the POTUS under common people’s radar.
Finally, the rising tension among the US citizens and the White House forced President Richard Nixon to resign from his position in 1974. The biographical series of HBO shows the rise and fall of Richard Nixon, according to Folsom Cordova Unified School District.
