Donald Trump Asserts<br />Executive Privilege Over<br />Unredacted Mueller Report Trump has used his executive power to prevent<br />the full disclosure of Robert Mueller’s report. The order was delivered to the House Judiciary<br />Committee just as they were voting on whether to<br />hold AG William Barr in contempt of Congress. Trump’s move is in retribution for the<br />committee’s refusal to postpone their vote,<br />as requested by the Justice Department. Sarah Sanders,<br />via statement Trump’s decision is considered a<br />“protective assertion” of privilege<br />and will allow him to decide what<br />information will be withheld. This does not cast Trump in a<br />favorable light, as he has consistently<br />remarked that the report offered him<br />“complete and total exoneration.” Jerry Nadler, chair of the committee, reaffirmed<br />their stance in the matter, saying nobody<br />“can be permitted to be above the law.” Jerry Nadler,<br />via ‘CNBC’
