Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House

The Watergate affair is one of the most ambiguous and scandalous pages in the history of the United States. Someone named "Deep Throat" kept passing information to reporters Bob Woodworth and Carl Bernstein that exposed US President Richard Nixon in illegal wiretapping. No one knew the identity of the informant for 30 years until 2005. But what he did changed the history of the United States and led to the only case of the resignation of President Richard Nixon.
