Suit challenges DOJ claim on gun walking and executive privilege
The suit argues the Justice Department's early 2011 assertion that gun walking did not occur is incorrect. It contends the administration relied on the deliberative process privilege, which is legally baseless, and notes two main executive privilege types, including presidential communications.
MENTIONED IN THIS ARTICLE
Justice Department
Deliberative Process Privilege and Executive Secrecy
The deliberative process privilege covers a broad range of administration officials not just aides to the president. Presidents face a stronger burden to justify secrecy under this broader authority. A federal appeals court ruled the privilege is easier for Congress to overcome and it disappears if there is any reason to believe government misconduct occurred.
