History

Historical Context

The 1973 Senate Watergate Committee hearings, broadcast to 85 % of U.S. homes, uncovered the Nixon administration’s break-in and cover-up, leading to the July 24 1974 United States v. Nixon decision that curbed executive privilege and to Nixon’s August 9 1974 resignation. Today, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s demand for Trump’s withheld Epstein files echoes those historic calls for transparency.
