The Supreme Court Case That Forced a President to Resign – U.S. v. Nixon Explained

In 1974, the Supreme Court made history when it ruled that President Richard Nixon had to turn over secret White House recordings—tapes that ultimately led to his resignation.

In this episode of History on Trial, we break down:
What the Watergate scandal was really about
How Nixon tried to use “executive privilege” to avoid handing over evidence
Why the Supreme Court ruled 8–0 against the President
What the ruling means for the balance of power in the U.S. government
Why this case still matters in today’s political climate

United States v. Nixon wasn’t just about one man—it was about proving that no one is above the law, not even the President.
