At a press conference on his first re-election bid, Nixon vowed to the American public: "Not a single person in the White House or in this administration who is now employed is involved in this absurd incident." He also feigned composure, saying, "It's not sad that this kind of thing happens, because some people who are too zealous in the election campaign always do something wrong." If you try to cover it up, that's what hurts. ”

A series of events, in particular the president's performance, temporarily deceived the public. As a result of the election, Nixon defeated Democratic candidate George McGovern by a rare landslide and was re-elected. Just as Nixon and his aides were getting carried away with each other, anonymous letters were sent to the court, telling the Watergate scandal that there was still a secret.

Congress, in which the Democrats have a majority, decided to set up a special investigative committee to conduct a thorough investigation into the presidential campaign. Sure enough, on March 23, 1973, McCord exposed White House counsel Dean in court. Nixon decided to abandon the car and make Dean a scapegoat.

Dean is not a character to be slaughtered, and he is not willing to be captured. When he learned that his crime was punishable by 40 years in prison, he took the initiative to confess and expose to the prosecutor for three hours, hoping to atone for his crime in exchange for pardon.

In order to salvage the situation, Nixon issued another statement, saying that he did not know about the Watergate scandal in advance, and that he did not obstruct the investigation after the fact, and defended the wiretapping, saying that it was for the sake of national security, legal and necessary, and that every president had done so since the time of Roosevelt. Once again, he is trying to use the trust of the American people in him to get by.

Unfortunately, an even bigger time bomb exploded. The Watergate Commission learned a new story: Nixon had ordered a wiretapping system in his White House office in early 1971 in order to record conversations and phone calls with his men. The Commission requested Nixon to hand over the relevant audio tapes and documents.

Nixon refused to surrender on the grounds of executive privilege and took the matter to the Court of Appeals. Unexpectedly, after three weeks of deliberation, the majority of the judges held that the President was also bound by law and that he must hand over the tapes and documents.

Nixon was so angry that he ordered the dismissal of Cox, the special counsel investigating the Watergate scandal.

This stabbed the hornet's nest, and the American television networks immediately suspended their normal programs to report the explosive news to the American public.

The public reaction was like a volcano beginning to erupt, protest telegrams were overwhelming like snowflakes, and public opinion compared Nixon to Hitler. Even religious circles and publications that had previously supported Nixon angrily accused Nixon. Strong-blooded university students organized mass demonstrations.

The whole United States is like a boiling pot, and the crowd is indignant. Driven by popular opinion, the House of Representatives decided to impeach the president. Nixon was determined to resist to the end, destroying the tapes that were unfavorable to him, while continuing to emphasize executive privilege, saying that he "will follow the precedent that all presidents from Washington to Johnson have followed and defended, and will never do anything to weaken the presidency of the United States."

The telephone records he handed over were riddled with holes, and a great deal of important content was replaced by words such as inaudible and invaluable. Nixon's actions further angered the public, and the chief justice of the Supreme Court ruled that Nixon must hand over the tapes.

Nixon ordered that Attorney General Richardson remove Cox from office. But Richardson refused the president's request and resigned. Deputy Minister of Justice Raquel Shos, who took over as justice minister, also resigned for refusing to remove the special prosecutor. Eventually, Bock, the third man in the Justice Department, became acting justice minister before agreeing to remove the special prosecutor.

Nixon also mobilized the FBI to block the offices of the special prosecutor and the chief and deputy secretary of justice, announced the abolition of the special federal prosecutor's office, and transferred the investigation of the case back to the Department of Justice. In the face of Nixon's abuse of executive power to defend himself, he attracted serious criticism from the people.

On October 31, 1973, the U.S. House of Representatives decided that the Judiciary Committee of the House would be responsible for investigating and collecting evidence of Nixon's crimes in preparation for Nixon's impeachment. On June 25, 1974, the Judiciary Committee decided to release all the evidence related to Nixon's impeachment. At the end of July, the Judiciary Committee passed three articles of impeachment against Nixon.

Nixon sent a letter to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at 11:35 a.m. on August 8 announcing that he would resign the next day, and not only that, but Nixon also had to make a televised speech to the nation announcing his resignation from the presidency in front of the American people, thus making him the first and only president in American history to step down midway due to scandals.

A Watergate scandal made the Watergate Building, which is actually not a well-known location in the United States, known to the world overnight, but it was known as a scandal.

The building, which is also famous for the president of a politician, is much more facilitated by the Kennedy Center than the Watergate Building, which is famous for Nixon.

This white square building has a double meaning for the United States. First, it is a national cultural center, which President Dwight D. Eisenhower has planned to build. Second, it is named after U.S. President John F. Kennedy, who has been a prominent figure in American culture for more than a decade.

It is such a cultural center of great significance in the United States, but on this day it ushered in a Chinese solo film exhibition.

And it is not a film festival run by the Chinese themselves, but an American film school located on a hill in Hollywood to train professionals for the United States and the Hollywood film and television industry.

Such an academy gave Lin Qingxia a solo film exhibition at the Kennedy Center, which shows that Lin Qingxia's film achievements are recognized by professional film schools in the United States.

It is very objective to say that the American film industry is indeed the strongest in the world, otherwise film talents from all over the world would not want to break into the United States and enter Hollywood.

Of course, Lin Qingxia's cow break is not only a personal film festival held by the American Film Institute, but she is also the first VIP Chinese who has been invited to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the President of the United States twice, and the first person in Asian countries.

As early as 1981, when U.S. President Ronald Reagan inaugurated her, Lin Qingxia was invited to attend Reagan's inauguration ceremony as a guest of honor.

At the beginning of this year, the new president of the United States, who was Bush for others and Bush Sr., also invited Lin Qingxia to attend his inauguration ceremony as a guest of honor.
