John Sirica
American lawyer and judge John Sirica presided over a series of trials stemming from the 1972 break-in at the national headquarters of the Democratic Party in the Watergate building. His rulings led to the release of secretly recorded White House tapes which documented the involvement of United States President Richard Nixon (1969-1974) in attempts to cover up the break-in and impede its investigation.
