Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A unanimous Court concluded that neither the separation of powers nor a generalized need for confidential communications supported an absolute privilege. The Court set a standard of “demonstrated specific need” for enforcement of a federal criminal subpoena to the President.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sirica, acting on a request from Jaworski, issued a subpoena for the tapes of 64 presidential conversations to use as evidence in the criminal cases against indicted former Nixon administration officials.
