Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "Saturday night massacre" involved President Richard Nixon's firing of the special prosecutor investigating the Watergate case. The other options are incorrect, as Nixon did not fire most of his cabinet or the White House chief counsel or chief of staff during this specific event. He did, however, ask for the resignation of the attorney general, but the attorney general refused and was subsequently fired. Nonetheless, the firing of the special prosecutor is the key event that is associated with the "Saturday night massacre."
