DNC Intern Who Botched Watergate Burglars' Plans, Returns To Crime Scene To Unveil New Book

LOS ANGELES, May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Bruce Givner, a DNC intern on the 6^th floor of the infamous Watergate office building the night of Friday June 16 and early morning hours of June 17, 1972, will unveil his new book, "MY WATERGATE SCANDAL TELL-ALL: How I Unwittingly Caused This Historic Event" on Monday evening, June 10, 2019 at 6 p.m. on the sixth floor of the Watergate. Arresting Watergate officers, John Barrett and Paul Leeper, will be on hand to join Givner, according to Todd Baldwin of SAGE Publishing who is hosting the event, and whose staff now occupies the former DNC headquarter 6^th floor offices.

Givner, a prominent West Los Angeles tax attorney, who represents celebrities and wealthy families, has chronicled his unique Watergate experience in a "Tell-all" memoir. "I was a 21-year-old intern for the DNC and stayed late the night of June 16, 1972 to use the WATS line," Givner explains. "For five hours I made telephone calls to friends and family, thwarting the burglars' plans. They were scheduled to break in at 10 p.m." Givner left at 12:05 a.m.

Givner will not only tell his story of what happened to him that night, plus the days and years that followed, he also will be accompanied by Watergate arresting officers, John Barrett and Paul Leeper, who will also share their respective experiences during the wee hours of June 17, 1972, when Barrett discovered the five burglars huddled together in a cubicle.

"We have a display commemorating the historic Watergate event," Baldwin explained. "Now, on June 10, we will have the rare opportunity of meeting and talking to three of the most interesting 'insiders' involved in Watergate." Baldwin's staff will be privy to a private presentation earlier that day.

After the presentation, the three will then take the media and distinguished guests on a tour of the premises—recounting the night's events, step-by-step. It will be followed by a lively Q&A.
