Ex-Virginia police sergeant sentenced to more than 7 years in prison for role in storming U.S. Capitol
(FILES) In this file photo taken on January 6, 2021 Trump supporters clash with police and security forces as they storm the US Capitol in Washington, DC. - Fifty years since it ignited Washington, the Watergate affair remains a cautionary tale on the threat of untrammeled presidential power and the yardstick against which all other political scandals are judged. Yet some historians believe its architect, Richard Nixon, risks being displaced as the norm-breaking exemplar of presidential corruption by Donald Trump and the firestorm over his role in the 2021 US Capitol assault. Nixon's underlying crime was covering up a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington's Watergate complex to steal documents that might have helped him in an election he would ultimately win by a landslide anyway.
