Many walking near the White House Friday noticed an incongruous sign at 17th and Penn: “President Nixon campaign headquarters.”
Turns out HBO’s White House Plumbers docuseries—which follows the story of the Nixon cronies behind Watergate—is filming in town and turned a portion of DC around the Eisenhower Executive Office Building into a recreation of 1972. Here’s what some people have seen over the past few days.Meanwhile, catty corner from the @WhiteHouse, Richard Nixon is back on the campaign trail.
