Neil Casey, Justin Theroux, Woody Harrelson and David Krumholtz in White House Plumbers

After episode 4's shocking ending, White House Plumbers episode 5 brings the limited series to a close, covering the Watergate trials that put Hunt (Woody Harrelson) and Liddy (Justin Theroux) in jail and the following Watergate hearings that would ultimately lead to Richard Nixon resigning as the US president.

Just as we've detailed every episode of HBO's satirical look at the infamous political scandal, we do so again here, investigating what is fact and what is fiction in White House Plumbers episode 5. This includes things like who cooperated with the prosecution during the Watergate trial, the punishments that Hunt and Liddy received and what happened to them later in life.
