    There were 3 articles of impeachment drafted against him so that’s probably the number to go with. Never got tried in the Senate because he resigned, never got prosecuted because he was pardoned.

    However…the pardon was for “any crimes he might have committed” and per Burdick v United States an accepted pardon is a confession of guilt so technically Nixon has confessed to an unlimited number of crimes.
