Was he personally involved in the scandal?

If I remember correctly, Nixon was not involved in the planning or execution of the break-in at the office in the Watergate of the Democratic National Committee by persons hired by the Committee to Re-Elect the President. However, once the burglary was discovered he was involved in the cover up.

Nixon resigned, rather than face impeachment; later to be pardoned by Ford, who took over in the White House.
G. Gordon Liddy, the supposed "architect" of the Watergate burglary, along with several of his underlings, went to prison.
