White House Plumbers S1

This five-part limited series tells the behind-the-scenes story of how Nixon’s political saboteurs, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy accidentally toppled the presidency they were zealously trying to protect… and their families along with it. Chronicling actions on the ground, this satirical drama begins in 1971 when the White House hires Hunt and Liddy, former CIA and FBI, respectively, to investigate the Pentagon Papers leak. After failing upward, the unlikely pair lands on the Committee to Re-Elect the President, plotting several unbelievable covert ops - including bugging the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate complex. Proving that fact is truly stranger than fiction, White House Plumbers sheds light on the lesser-known series of events that led to one of the greatest political scandals in American history.
