The original case of United States v. Nixon involved a dispute over whether President Richard Nixon had to comply with a subpoena to produce tape recordings and documents related to the Watergate scandal. Nixon claimed executive privilege, arguing that the tapes were protected from disclosure. The district court ruled against him, leading to the appeal. The case ultimately centered on the balance of power among the branches of government and the limits of executive privilege.
