The Watergate burglars were Bernard L. Baker, James W. McCord, Birgillo R. Gonzales, Euqenio Martinez, and Frank Sturgis. James McCord was a former member of the CIA.
The first of the Watergate burglars to confess that the break-in had been approved by top officials with the Committee to Re-elect the President (CRP) was James McCord. During the trial, he revealed that the operation was sanctioned by higher-ups, which ultimately led to significant revelations about the scandal and its connection to the Nixon administration. McCord's confession played a crucial role in the unraveling of the Watergate cover-up.
