An American attorney, educator, and special prosecutor during the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon (1969-1974), was born on 17th May 1912, in Plainfield, New Jersey, United States. He earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard University in 1934. He served as solicitor general, the third-ranking official in the Justice Department, under President John F. Kennedy (1961-1963) and President Lyndon Johnson (1963-1969). Cox's continued close relationship with the Kennedy family made Nixon especially suspicious of his motives during the Watergate investigations Nixon dismissed Cox as special prosecutor in 1973 because Cox had requested access to secret White House tapes as part of his investigation. The firing provoked public outrage and led to the introduction of impeachment proceedings against Nixon in the United States Congress. On May 18, 1973, Attorney General Elliot Richardson appointed Cox as special prosecutor, with unprecedented authority and independence to investigate the alleged Watergate cover-up and illegal activity in the 1972 presidential campaign. When the existence of secret tape recordings of conversations in the president's White House offices was revealed, Cox demanded to hear specific tapes. The president refused to turn over the tapes, citing executive privilege, a legal doctrine under which the president is not obligated to divulge information involving military or national security issues. The U.S. Court of Appeals rejected the argument as it applied to the Watergate investigations and ordered the president to turn the tapes over to Cox. Nixon offered instead to provide verified, edited transcripts.
He died on May 17, 1912, Died: May 29, 2004, in Brooksville, Maine, United States.
