The third option: whether Nixon could use executive privilege to withhold the tapes.
In United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974), the Supreme Court held that the President’s generalized claim of executive privilege did not permit him to withhold subpoenaed tape recordings and other evidence in a criminal trial. The Court ordered Nixon to produce the tapes. The case did not decide what Nixon knew and when, nor resolve questions about erased tapes.
