On this day in 1973, in the midst of the Watergate scandal that eventually ended his presidency, President Richard Nixon tells a group of newspaper editors gathered at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, that he is ânot a crook.â. Nixon made the now-famous declaration during a televised question-and-answer session with Associated Press editors.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: I am not a crook. BILLY WEST: (as Nixon's head) I am not a crook's head. RATH: Less than a year after Nixon said he was not a crook, he said he was also never a quitter. But speaking from the Oval Office in August 1974, he announced he was quitting the White House. NIXON: I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow.
