esident Gerald R. Ford granted a full and unconditional pardon to former P
resident Richard M. Nixon for any crimes he might have committed against t
he United States while in office. The pardon came just a month after Nixon
resigned over the Watergate scandal, making him the first U.S. president
to resign. Ford said he issued the pardon to help the nation heal from the
divisions of the scandal, but the decision was highly controversial, with
critics accusing him of undermining justice. The move likely hurt Ford’
s popularity and contributed to his loss in the 1976 presidential election
