Answer: D. The Supreme Court refused to get involved in fear of disrupting the balance of power is NOT true about the Watergate investigations. In fact, the Supreme Court played a crucial role when it unanimously held in the case of United States v. Nixon (1974) that President Richard Nixon was obliged to release the tape recordings and other subpoenaed materials to the court for review. The Court rejected Nixon's claims to an absolute, unqualified presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances.
