Biden Will Not Invoke Executive Privilege Rule Regarding Trump Activities - White House
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US President Joe Biden is not going to resort to executive privilege with respect to former President Donald Trump’s activities and communications during the January 6 events and will provide all necessary information, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said on Friday.
“The President has already concluded that it would not be appropriate to assert executive privilege [with respect to Trump]. We will respond promptly to these questions as they arise and certainly, as they come up from Congress,” Psaki said during a press briefing.
Psaki added that the Biden administration has been working closely with a number of congressional committees and other officials as they continue to investigate the circumstances of what happened on January 6.
Executive privilege grants the US president or other officials from the executive branch the power to legally block requests to provide information from legislative or judicial branches.
