In late 1973 Agnew was while under investigate on charges of extortion, tax fraud, bribery and conspiracy he resigned, right after he was formally charged in October 1973 with having accepted bribes while holding the office of Governor of Maryland, his previous position prior to becoming Vice President.

By accounts, the notoriously thin-skinned President Nixon was also resentful of the self-confident Agnew was so popular with so many Americans.  By 1970, Agnew was limited to seeing the president only during cabinet meetings or in the occasional and brief one-on-one, with Agnew given no opportunity to discuss much of anything of substance.

Oval Office tapes reveal that in 1971, Nixon and his chief of staff, Bob Haldeman, discussed their desire to have Agnew resign from office prior to the following year's campaign season. One plan to achieve this was to try to persuade conservative investors to purchase one of the television networks, and then invite Agnew to run it. 

In 1980, Agnew published a memoir in which he implied that Nixon and his Chief of Staff, Alexander Haig, had planned to assassinate him if he refused to resign the Vice Presidency, and that Haig told him to "go quietly…or else", the memoir's title.
