Question 5 • TX-US History Studies Since 1877 B-Credit Recovery Summer School

Which of the following events occurred during the conflict over the White House tapes?Check any of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Nixon sought the firing of the special prosecutor.
B
Nixon destroyed the Watergate tapes.
C
Nixon claimed executive privilege.

Explanation

Nixon claimed executive privilege to resist turning over the White House tapes, and he sought the firing of the special prosecutor during the conflict over access to them. The tapes were not destroyed by Nixon; one recording had an 18½-minute gap caused by erasure, but that does not make choice B correct.
