This week marks 50 years since the Watergate break-in happened, sparking perhaps our nation’s biggest political scandal and the resignation of President Richard Nixon. North Carolina played a monster role in the investigation that followed with Sen. Sam Ervin chairing the Senate Watergate Committee. His 31-year-old Deputy Chief Counsel Rufus Edmisten delivered the subpoena to the White House for the famous tapes. Edmisten went on to a long and prolific political career. Tim catches up with the 80-year-old character at his office, which looks more like a museum and his home, which looks more like a public garden, and a local radio station.
