First on CNN: Biden White House rejects more executive privilege claims by Trump


(CNN) President Joe Biden has once again refused to assert executive privilege over more documents that former President Donald Trump has sought to keep out of the hands of the committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. According to a letter obtained by CNN, White House counsel Dana Remus informed National Archivist David Ferriero on Monday that Biden would not assert privilege over additional materials that Trump requested remain secret as a matter of executive privilege. The National Archives is set to begin turning over records to the House on November 12, unless Trump gets a court order. "President Biden has considered the former President's assertion, and I have engaged in consultations with the Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice," Remus wrote. Accordingly, President Biden does not uphold the former President's assertion of privilege."
