Senator Whitehouse argues executive privilege undermines congressional oversight and transparency.

The White House said records sought in Capitol riot litigation are “clearly constitutionally protected.”

via The Parnas Perspective — Happy Sunday. The Trump administration is staking out some of the most aggressive legal positions on White House secrecy we’ve seen yet, arguing in court filings that executive privilege can shield not just conversations with official advisers but Trump’s dealings with outside business figures and even the identities of people helping shape major policy decisions. That fight is unfolding alongside a separate effort to gut the Presidential Records Act entirely, a Watergate era law that requires t

via The Hill News — Executive privilege is a legitimate constitutional protection, but it is not absolute. It should not be expanded to draw private relationships into the protected sphere of executive privilege.

via US news | The Guardian — A recent memo claiming executive privilege over communications with private advisers invites corruption A recent office of legal counsel memo on executive privilege maintains that private advisers to a president can avoid responding to a subpoena by asserting the president’s executive privilege. The ability of presidents to shield communications from public view through claims of executive privilege, whether their own or those of a senior adviser, was already a powerful tool for presidents to av

via The Hill News — Attorney General Todd Blanche on Sunday dismissed criticism over the Justice Department’s (DOJ) recent opinion on executive privilege over communications between the president and “private advisors” outside of government, saying that it is not “any novel legal concept.” “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream played a clip to Blanche of Rep.

via US news | The Guardian — Suit alleges subscription offer aims to sell privileged access to information generated in president’s official capacity Donald Trump has been sued after a subscription service charging up to $100,000 a month for early access to his posts on his Truth Social platform sparked allegations of corruption. The lawsuit, filed in the US district court for the southern district of New York , was brought by the Intercept and the Freedom of the Press Foundation against Trump, two of his aides and the exec

A federal appeals court in Washington, DC, has rejected Peter Navarro's attempt to overturn his contempt of Congress conviction related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The unanimous decision by three judges on the DC US Circuit Court of Appeals underscores the legal consequences of Navarro's refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas. Navarro, a former Trump adviser, was convicted in 2023 for defying demands to provide records and testimony about his public claims of conspiring to block Congress from certifying Trump's 2020 election loss. The court emphasized that Navarro failed to prove Trump instructed him to ignore the subpoena, noting he unilaterally asserted executive privilege without consulting Trump. The ruling highlights the Biden administration's and Congress's pursuit of accountability, with the executive branch rejecting Navarro's privilege claim and prosecuting him. Both Navarro and Steve Bannon, another Trump confidant, served prison time in 2024 for similar offenses, though neither received a presidential pardon despite Trump's clemency for other January 6 defendants. The Justice Department has sought to dismiss Bannon's charges, but Navarro's case remains unresolved.
