Richard Nixon's grand jury testimony about the scandal that destroyed his presidency finally is coming to light. Four months after a judge ordered the June 1975 Watergate records unsealed, the US government's Nixon Presidential Library was making them available online and at the California facility today.

Nixon was interviewed near his California home for 11 hours over two days, when a pardon granted by his successor, Gerald Ford, protected him from prosecution for any past crimes. Historians won public access to the transcript over the objections of the Obama administration.
