Liddy headed the [[Plumbers unit]] of outside contractors to fix [[leak]]s, which was funded by campaign donations. John Dean, without consulting Nixon, ordered the break in to see if the DNC was in unauthorized possession of leaked or stolen classified government documents at the time. Liddy was arrested along with several others.
