Other experts concurred, saying Biden is likely to side with Trump and against the select committee led by his fellow Democrats in at least some cases. That’s because all presidents know that they will eventually be former presidents — and most are loath to weaken the privilege they may someday want to assert. One person familiar with the negotiations between the select committee and White House said to expect Biden’s team to err on the side of disclosure given the gravity of the Jan. 6 attack.
“I think not asserting executive privilege, given the nature of the documents they’re asking for, would set a very bad precedent,” he added. “But the current occupant of the White House can set all sorts of bad precedents.” “In this instance, where you’re investigating an insurrection that occurred at the Capitol and whether anybody in the White House knew about it ahead of time, then there’s a pretty compelling argument that Congress’ need for the information outweighs any White House interest in withholding it,” said Owens, who also helped the House sue to compel former Trump White House ounsel Don McGahn to testify.
She added that she thinks Biden’s White House will probably greenlight the release of some, but not all, materials the Hill wants. Saikrishna Prakash, a law professor at the University of Virginia, took the same view.
Get over it Nancy 🙄
JonLemire Anything pertaining to any corrupt and/or criminal activity, as well as any you scratch my back type of conversations should definitely be released!
They better not.
JonLemire I hope he does not protect Trump who broke the law
JonLemire Biden’s White House Counsel will have to decide whether to shield Kamala's Insurrection from investigators! KAMALA says hasn't Ceased! Its still going on!
JonLemire Will the Counsel Shield Insurrectionist General Milley & his Chinese Friends?
JonLemire To save democracy, give them all of it.
JonLemire Let's get rid of trump once and for all!!! Release all information, now is the right time to do this! MATCH OVER
JonLemire Americans have the right to know
JonLemire 👍. Release the documents. The former president committed treason - people died and many wounded. My God, 3 officers committed suicide due to post traumatic syndrome bc of TFG inciting the insurrection. Release every single document. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
JonLemire If there was crime, they need to reveal it!!! Simple!
JonLemire When I see 'shield' and 'Trump' in the same sentence...🤬🤬🤬
No he must be bought to Justice. He committed an insurrection & is. Traitor to America. If not held accountable then Justice died when Trump & Republicans had 4 years in power. Other Countries hold leaders accountable why not America. The ppl demand Garland charge Them all.
The original headline didn't make any sense, so good on you for fixing it.
Wouldn’t Bother.!!!
No. Everything needs laid out or they will continue to divide. Put them to rest like we didn’t in 1865.
Why is this even a question, they absolutely shouldn't, jeez, why is this hard 🤬
Stop protecting and enabling this monster.
What’s to hide?
Responsible journalism headline: WH Counsel to decide which of th requests from Congress fall outside of legitimate application of executive privilege for any President and which don't (so as not to set a bad precedent) Expected to follow same criterion as if it were for Biden.
Should be a pretty simple criteria that crimes are not protected by executive privilege. Insurrection is a crime.
Why would he shield TFG?
They better not shield what Trump and the rest of those traitors did, we the people have a right to know what crimes they committed and who they committed them with! Wake up Biden or I guarantee democrats will lose in 22 and 24!
This will be Potus legacy. If he protects the previous administration, he's dead to me, and renders America a joke across the world forever. His DOJ already seems to be protecting anyone in politics related to the coup... I doubt they will go after him at all. 🤬🤬🤬
No shield
Don't protect him from a damn thing Nixononsteroids
🤔
What on earth is difficult about this decision? Give them every scrap.
Send it all.Americans should know all the details.Donald Benedict Arnold Trump should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law
trash news site
Congrats. You guys lost a subscriber. Muted on Apple News and on twitter. Let me know when you stop being misogynistic as wholes.
JoseArmand37 Let’s simplify this…turn the documents over. Executive privilege is not supposed to be invoked to cover up illegal activity, like inciting an insurrection, for example.
Why did you sell out? I no longer trust anything you do.
Pretty sure it is information from the archives not the Biden White House though. Won’t click on 🗑
Tricky. Pass it ALL off to ‘em.
All of it, end of discussion. America has earned the right to know it all.
When a president is accused of treason or a crime the relevant documents need to be released unless they could become a threat to our country’s security. How can we let ANY president get away with crimes while in office
We’ll never see any of it at this rate.
This is America and over non-classified information should be shared with congress & the public - transparency. Same rules for democratic and republican presidents too.
If you've read the thread below and, more importantly, watched the NoOneUnscripted episodes, you aren’t at all surprised by the ongoing GOP treason plot. But if you haven't, here it is. Just saying.
