Judge orders release of Nixon Watergate testimony

A federal judge has ordered the release of decades-old secret grand jury testimony from former President Richard Nixon, related to the Watergate scandal.

It is unclear when the material might be available to the public, since the Justice Department, which believes the transcript should be kept secret, now has the option of asking a federal appeals court in Washington to intervene.

U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth on Friday rejected the department's argument that the privacy interests of witnesses would be compromised by the release.
