President Bush has invoked executive privilege and is refusing to turn over to congressional investigators any White House documents related to the U.S. attorney firings.
In a letter today to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), Solicitor General Paul Clement informed the two lawmakers that Bush “has decided to assert Executive Privilege and therefore the White House will no be making any production in response to these subpoenas for documents.”
