Biden in 2007: ‘Executive Privilege Only Covers Communications Between the President and His Advisors’ | CNSNews.com: (CNSNews.com) – Vice President Joe Biden, when serving as a senator in 2007, made it clear that executive privilege applies only to communications involving the president himself.
Biden was responding to a question posed by the Boston Globe, which asked Biden, “Does executive privilege cover testimony or documents about decision-making within the executive branch not involving confidential advice communicated to the president himself?”
Biden delivered an unqualified response.
“The executive privilege only covers communications between the president and his advisors,” Biden said in a Boston Globe interview published in Dec. 20, 2007. “Even when the privilege does apply, it is not absolute; it may be outweighed by the public’s interest in the fair administration of justice.”
