Can be done by the former President who was in office when it took place.
Right. That's what I'm saying.
I think a former President can "claim" executive privilege but only the sitting President can "invoke" executive privilege.
If they are stating that Trump will "invoke" executive privilege, doesn't that suggest that he is the sitting President?
Possibly, or it could just be lazy wording. I don't think there's anything here to support Trump still being President.
I don't think that's the case. The FAKE NEWS is always very specific in their language. It's one of their greatest talents to be honest. I.E. One third of positive Covid cases are unvaccinated; rather than saying two-thirds of positive Covid cases are vaccinated.
The term "invoke" means you have the authority to do something.
I.E. A person can "invoke" their 5th amendment right.
A person cannot "invoke" another person's 5th amendment right.
Only the sitting President can "invoke" executive privilege.
