According to the publication's sources, the department is examining materials submitted by Jeff Shepard, an aide to former President Richard Nixon, which relate to alleged errors made by prosecutors during the investigation.
The Watergate scandal, which erupted in the 1970s, led to the resignation of President Nixon in 1974 and is considered one of the most significant political crises in American history.
The publication noted that the review is at a preliminary stage and its outcome is not yet known.
Additional details about the timeline and possible consequences of the review were not available in the sources cited.
