Liddy headed the [[Plumbers unit]] of outside contractors seeking to stop [[leak]]s and 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.
