Specific requirements could be held up for executive privilege assertions – proof of assertion by a present or former president, validation of the defendant’s advisory role at the relevant time, and the privilege claim made on a question-by-question basis before Congress. Satisfying these requirements could become critical for criminal and civil enforcement efforts in future legislative-executive branch face-offs.
