History

Historical Context

In July 1974 the Supreme Court’s unanimous United States v. Nixon ruling forced President Richard Nixon to surrender the full White House tape record, ending his claim of absolute executive privilege. The “smoking-gun” tape forced Nixon’s resignation and set a precedent that Eric Deters cites in his lawsuit against Trump adviser Kimberly Guilfoyle, who says she possesses a 16-minute tape that could topple Trump administration.
