BOR,SC trivia. What was the only time in history the SC itself held a criminal trial of defendant's. In other words, they were not acting as an appeals court or an original jurisdiction court under the constitution.
I think you must be refering to March 1974 when the Supreme Court charged the then U.S. Attorney General John N. Mitchell and six other Nixon administration officials with conspiracy to obstruct justice by covering up White House involvement in a scandal known as the Watergate cover up.![]()
