The White House has rejected an attempt by former President Joe Biden to use executive privilege to prevent Congress from seeing documents related to investigations that include Biden’s use of the autopen and the Biden family’s financial dealings.
The president determined that such use of executive privilege is “not in the best interests of the United States.”
White House counsel David Warrington sent a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration Monday, saying that President Donald Trump “does not uphold the former president’s assertion of privilege,” according toFox News.
The letter told NARA to give Congress what it wants.
NARA had informed the White House in December that Biden was asserting executive privilege over a number of documents.

The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations sought records connected to what the letter called the “coverup of former President Biden’s health and cognitive decline.”
Biden wanted to block two Senate Judiciary Committee requests concerning “coordinated efforts by the Biden administration against President Trump and his staff through politically motivated investigations,” the letter said.
The White House argued that “the constitutional protections of executive privilege should not be used to shield from Congress evidence of a President’s efforts to imprison his opponent.”
