Which Nixon associate had Cox subpoenaed that led to a confrontation with the president?

  • Dwight Chapin

  • HR Haldeman

  • Oval Office Tapes

  • G. Gordon Liddy

Answer

After Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox subpoenaed the Oval Office Tapes, a confrontation with the president ensued. Nixon had initially refused to comply with the subpoena, citing executive privilege, but ultimately turned over the tapes after the Supreme Court ruled against him in United States v. Nixon. The tapes proved that Nixon had been involved in the Watergate cover-up, and he was eventually forced to resign from office.
