Clinton privilege issue stirs legal scholars and rivals
In Washington the Clinton White House argued for executive privilege to shield aides from questions about Hillary Clinton conversations. Legal scholars call the move bold and possibly overreaching while critics liken it to Nixon era tactics. Republicans compare it to Watergate, and observers note the privilege's reach beyond official duties remains untested. Clinton avoided discussing the matter during a Africa trip, saying it is up to those back home to decide.
