White House Plumbers background

White House Plumbers

A five-part series revealing the real truth behind how Nixon's political adversaries, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, unwittingly dismantled his administration while attempting to protect it.

In 1971, Egil "Bud" Krogh was summoned to a closed-door meeting with John Ehrlichman, Nixon's mentor and key confidant, in a secluded office at the Western White House. At first, Krogh believed he would discuss drug control measures related to his recent trip to South Vietnam. Instead, he received a file and responsibility for the Special Investigations Unit (SIU),later known as "The Plumbers." This unit was tasked with investigating leaks of top-secret government documents, particularly the Pentagon Papers. The president deemed this task vital to national security. Nixon expressed his preference for someone who would be 'a real son of a bitch.' Krogh, described as studious, zealous, and loyal, was chosen by Nixon.
