“Lawyers representing former President Donald Trump and the Justice Department presented dueling views over whether he can shield certain records from his time in office from federal investigators conducting a criminal investigation into the potential mishandling of classified national-security records,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“In legal briefs made public on Monday, Mr. Trump’s legal team argued that the doctrine of executive privilege protects Mr. Trump from having to disclose certain materials to federal investigators who are probing how records marked as classified came to be transferred to Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s Florida home, after he left office.”
