Fox News legal analyst lays waste to Trump’s attempts to block access to the unredacted Mueller report

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump issued an order of executive privilege to block Congress from accessing the full Mueller report and underlying evidence.

Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano pointed out that the Trump White House is using executive privilege in an unusual way.

"The President has claimed executive privilege on the redacted parts of the report," Napolitano observed, adding that Trump wouldn't know what's in the redacted parts.

And that's not how executive privilege is supposed to work.

"Executive privilege protects communications that the President has with senior advisors and senior members of the government. If the redacted material is not in that category then it's not even covered by executive privilege."
