Step-by-step explanation:

When President Nixon agreed to turn over only some of the Watergate tapes to the special prosecutor, the prosecutor's case against Nixon was heard by the Supreme Court. This is because Nixon originally refused to hand over the tapes, citing executive privilege. The special prosecutor at the time, Archibald Cox, did not accept this partial release. The confrontation led to the 'Saturday Night Massacre,' where Nixon ordered the firing of Cox, leading to a series of resignations in protest. The scandal eventually escalated to the U.S. Supreme Court case, United States v. Richard M. Nixon, in which Nixon was ordered to release the tapes. These tapes revealed evidence that implicated Nixon in the Watergate scandal and led to the initiation of impeachment proceedings. However, Nixon resigned before the impeachment could move forward.
