...showdown was thus rapidly approaching over the committee's ability to extract evidence from the White House. Any failure by Nixon to comply with the subpoena would carry serious implications for him. Refusal to produce legally subpoenaed evidence creates an assumption that the withheld material is damaging to the withholder's case. In a sense, such an act forfeits the law's normal presumption of innocence until proved guilty. Rodino does not intend, however, to seek any immediate contempt of Congress citation against the President if he fails to honor the subpoena. That possibility would be held...
...banks were required to keep copies of checks of $100 or more for five years; if the Government asked to see specific copies, the individual who wrote the checks would not necessarily be informed, though the bank could resist on its own and force the Government to get a subpoena. The regulations further specified that banks must automatically report to the Internal Revenue Service cash transactions of $10,000 or more.

Almost as surely, he will soon be forced to stop resisting similar requests from the impeachment committee for more tapes and documents...
...rising congressional impeachment pressure could not be ignored, and Nixon gave up some tactical territory. He and St. Clair had for so long resisted a request by Jaworski for 27 tapes and various documents that the special prosecutor finally issued a subpoena to get some of the documents. St. Clair first asked last Monday for a delay in the subpoena's return date, and Jaworski agreed. As the new deadline approached on Friday, Presidential Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler offhandedly announced without explanation that the subpoenaed evidence would be surrendered. The documents, dealing primarily with the use and possible abuse...
...subpoena deals primarily with the handling of campaign funds. Jaworski is also seeking further evidence, and he may subpoena that as well. The evidence being sought includes tapes and documents related to: 1) the possible "sale" of ambassadorships to large contributors to Nixon's political campaigns; 2) the Administration's settlement of an antitrust suit against ITT after a large campaign contribution was pledged by the company; 3) meetings at which Nixon and his aides discussed increased dairy price supports and a $2 million pledge of campaign aid by milk producers; 4) Nixon's notations from...
