What were the illegal campaign contributions connected to Robert L. Vesco and Richard Nixon’s 1972 reelection campaign?

In 1973, Robert L. Vesco was indicted for making illegal contributions totaling $250,000 to President Richard Nixon's 1972 reelection campaign. Vesco, an American financier, was a fugitive from U.S. legal authorities and a key figure in financial and political scandals of the early 1970s.1

The Watergate scandal, which involved a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in 1972, ultimately led to Nixon's resignation in 1974 due to his administration's involvement in covering up the incident.23
