The Justice Department just dropped a memo that could dramatically expand presidential power by letting private advisors claim executive privilege to dodge subpoenas — even when they’re not official White House staff. This move, seen as a potential shield for future investigations, echoes past controversies like Trump’s failed attempt to block Don McGahn’s testimony and Nixon’s infamous tape cover-up. While presidents have long tried to use immunity to avoid scrutiny, courts have historically resisted claims that go too far — especially when they obstruct justice. Legal experts warn this memo misreads precedent and risks setting a dangerous precedent that prioritizes political protection over accountability.
