Because the likeliest thing is Trump dictated this statement https://t.co/swrTmKpQWW— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) August 27, 2020
According to Woodstein (and my memory of the dialogue in the movie) John Mitchell (no longer US AG at that point) called Ben Bradlee and threatened to put Katherine Graham's tits in a wringer (his words, not mine) if the Post didn't back off the then nascent Watergate story.
Nobody ever doubted that threat came straight from Nixon.
In a few months Trump will have no power at all. And then the Emperor is going to be extremely naked, indeed.
