That means he’s just another private citizen and the current President COULD release information that Trump and Co. withheld from the public due to ‘ executive privilege ‘….
The House probe of of the Capitol Protest/Violence probably will ask for that info and of course the media will be right behind them looking to publish as much as they can get their hands on….
Trump has said he will cite “executive privilege” to block information requests from the House select committee investigating the events of that day, banking on a legal theory that has successfully allowed presidents and their aides to avoid or delay congressional scrutiny for decades, including during the Trump administration.
Biden, however, probably plans to share that information with Congress if asked, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Friday.
“The president has already concluded that it would not be appropriate to assert executive privilege,” Psaki said. “And so we will respond promptly to these questions as they arise and certainly as they come up from Congress.”….
Note…
Biden probably should have just done this instead of announcing it and inviting a Trump challenge ….
jamesb says
Trump has his lawyers suing to stop the Biden admin from handing info on Trump’s conte tion as President to the Capitol protests…..
Another legal case to and the docket of some court with Trump’s stamp on it….
