In the early 1970s, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward broke the Watergate story for The Washington Post, leading to the resignation of President Richard Nixon and setting the standard for modern investigative reporting, for which they and The Post were awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
Following his work on Watergate, Woodward continued to write and investigate American political figures, including Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump.
Woodward is currently an associate editor of The Washington Post and author of 21 books. He has won two Pulitzer Prizes, one for his work on the Watergate scandal and another for his coverage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
They are responsible for what may be the most famous story in the history of investigative journalism.
