See United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974).
It was a landmark United States Supreme Court case that resulted in a unanimous decision against President Richard Nixon, ordering him to deliver tape recordings and other subpoenaed materials to a federal district court.
They tried that in the case of former WH Counsel Don McGahn.
He was subpoenaed last March, and even though a federal court ordered him to comply with the subpoena, Trump is still fighting it.
