In the case of united States vs Nixon what did the supreme court order President Nixon to do?
In the case of United States v. Nixon (1974), the Supreme Court ordered President Richard Nixon to release tape recordings and documents related to the Watergate scandal.

What was the smoking gun tape in the Nixon presidency?
"It was a missing tape that proved President Nixon had prior knowledge of the Watergate Office breakin." This previous answer is not correct. The 'smoking gun' refers to a known tape of Nixon discussing paying Hunt/Liddy (2 of the people involved in watergate) money. It is called The "Smoking Gun" tape because it shows that Nixon was willing to pay money to keep them quiet which is considered by many to be a strong indication that Nixon had a great deal of involvement within the scandal. It does not directly show Nixon as being in an central role however it proves he had knowledge and involvement. It is believed however that Nixon did not authorise the Watergate break in, however he did set up circumstances which could allow it to occur. The missing tape is actually an 18.5 minute section which is missing from a complete tape, this was later claimed to be accidentally deleted while transcripting. It is not known what this tape contained, however it is widely believed to contain Nixon discussing how he intended to use the CIA/FBI to hush up the incident.

The Supreme Court ruled that President Nixon had to comply with a subpoena to produce tape recordings and documents related to the Watergate scandal, establishing that no one, not even the president, is above the law.
