Court subpoenas were served to President Nixon during the Watergate scandal as part of the investigation into the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and subsequent cover-up attempts. The Supreme Court ruled that Nixon had to comply with the subpoenas, emphasizing that no one, including the President, is above the law. This decision ultimately led to the release of taped conversations that revealed Nixon's involvement in the scandal, contributing to his decision to resign.
