Trump invokes executive privilege over Kennedy Center communications in lawsuit with Rep. Joyce Beatty
President Trump's White House counsel invoked presidential communications privilege to shield documents and conversations about the Kennedy Center from Rep. Joyce Beatty's lawsuit. Beatty, an ex officio board member, is challenging the planned closure, renovation, and potential renaming of the performing arts center. The Justice Department filed the declaration alongside a response asking the court to deny Beatty's motion to compel the information.
