The Committee to Re-elect the President, also known as CRP or CREEP, was a White House fund-raising organization headed by John Mitchell, the former Attorney General. G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt were members of CREEP who were involved in the Watergate break-in. CREEP funds, to the tune of 500,000 U.S dollars, were used to pay off the Watergate burglars after their indictment in September 1972.
