After the Senate Judiciary Committee subpoenaed 64 White House tapes, the Supreme Court’s unanimous July 24 1974 ruling forced President Richard Nixon to turn over the 3,700-hour recording system, prompting his resignation. The Watergate disclosure set a precedent for massive document releases, which the Justice Department now cites while releasing Epstein-related pages.
