And in Washington, D.C., the National Archives has released a set of documents from the Watergate scandal, including new information relating to the indictment against President Richard Nixon. The draft documents, known as the Watergate Road Map, showed plans to charge Nixon with bribery, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and obstruction of a criminal investigation. Nixon was never charged with the crimes, though a number of his aides were. The documents were released after a lawsuit requested they be made public, citing their relevance for special counsel Robert Mueller if he decides to issue a report to Congress as part of the ongoing probe into whether the Trump campaign colluded with alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 elections.
