Thanks for all the hard work, esp on a holiday weekend. Question: does Bush have to go along with Trump executive privilege claim?
-
I mean, he couldn’t release them over a successful assertion of executive privilege by Trump, if that’s what you’re asking.
-
Yes, thnx. I didn’t put it well but I wanted to be sure the block here comes from Trump, not Bush.
-
Here, the block is from the Trump admin, yes. In theory, Bush could, I suppose, say that he plans to release them anyway, at which point Trump would have to seek to block them by formally invoking executive privilege.
-
According to the NARA letter,it gave notice of intent to release the nom. files on August 1. Under the EO those files should be releasable within 30 days (ie, by 9-4 at the latest) unless there has been a formal claim of executive privilege or an extension of time under 2(b).
-
Not really sure (1) what letter you're talking about or (2) what files you're talking about, since there have been several letters and several files.
-
I was referring to the Aug. 2 letter from Gary Stern to Grassley (which is linked in your article). The files in question appear to relate to Kavanaugh’s nomination (I originally thought he meant nominations Kavanaugh worked on, which would have been more significant obviously).
-
Still, the question is whether NARA is continuing to follow the PRA process and whether it has given or will give any additional notices under the EO.
