    The statement is false. Richard Nixon was president of the US when the Watergate break-in occurred.

    Explanation:

    The Watergate scandal was a political scandal in the United States in the early 1970s involving a burglary at the Democratic Party National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D. C., and the efforts of President Richard Nixon's administration to conceal its responsibility for the crime. The scandal led to Nixon's resignation, the only time a president had resigned in U. S. history. Several officials in the Nixon administration were indicted, tried, convicted, and jailed. Nixon resigned on 9 August 1974. He received a pardon from Gerald Ford, his successor to the presidency, a month later.
