A CIA officer who, as part of the White House Plumbers, was tasked with identifying the sources of national security leaks following the publication of the Pentagon Papers in 1971. Hunt was convicted of burglary, conspiracy, and wiretapping and served 33 months in prison for the charges.

Woody Harrelson

as G. Gordon Liddy:
A White House lawyer who worked alongside Hunt to direct the burglary of the DNC headquarters in the Watergate building.
