Trivia
Original documents
In scenes involving the Pentagon Papers, Daniel Ellsberg's original documents were used as props, including the pages that were scattered over the floor of Benjamin C. Bradlee (Tom Hanks') home.
The real Nixon
In all of the scenes depicting President Nixon on the phone in the Oval Office, Nixon's actual voice is heard from White House tapes.
A necessary approval
Steven Spielberg screened his film for Katharine Graham's children, Lally Weymouth and Donald Graham, and Bradlee's widow Sally Quinn who, to his great relief, all approved.
