U.S. President Joe Biden undercuts White House executive privilege shield
The Hindu
Courts have ruled that former Presidents are afforded executive privilege in some cases
It is a risky move by President Joe Biden that could come back to haunt him — and future Presidents — in the hyperpartisan world of Washington politics.
Democrat Biden has agreed to a request from the Congress seeking sensitive information on the actions of his predecessor Donald Trump and his aides during the January 6 insurrection, though the former President claims the information is guarded by executive privilege.
The move by Mr. Biden isn’t the final word; Republican Trump says he will challenge the requests and a lengthy legal battle is likely to ensue over the information. Courts have ruled that former Presidents are afforded executive privilege in some cases.
