President Nixon’s administration tried, and failed, to protect themselves with a similar strategy of releasing redacted materials to the House Judiciary Committee in 1974.Mueller report's release to AG Barr is the end of the beginning for Trump, not the beginning of the end In April, after receiving a subpoena for 42 tapes from the committee and facing subpoenas for 64 tapes from the special prosecutor in the criminal case, the White House released 1,200 pages of edited transcripts of 33 recorded conversations, claiming that the redacted portions contained no information about “the question about what I knew about Watergate or the coverup and what I did about it,” as Nixon claimedIn May, the committee began impeachment hearings; the Supreme Court eventually...
The discrepancy between Nixon’s so-called “expletive deleted” transcripts and the words on the actual tape recordings led the committee, in its final report, to find that the transcripts were “untrustworthy.” In other words, the redactions, once proved relevant to the inquiry, provided another opening against the president rather than protection for him.
