Donald Trump Asserts Executive Privilege on Full Mueller Report
President Donald Trump asserted executive privilege on the unredacted version of the Mueller report on Wednesday morning.
The president’s decision was detailed in a statement to reporters from White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.
“Neither the White House nor Attorney General Barr will comply with Chairman Nadler’s unlawful and reckless demands,” Sanders wrote, after Barr issued a statement recommending that Trump claim executive privilege.
The White House said that Democrats and Nadler were trying to “redo” the Mueller investigation to distract the country from the booming economy.
“Faced with Chairman Nadler’s blatant abuse of power, and at the Attorney General’s request, the President has no other option than to make a protective assertion of executive privilege,” the statement read.
The White House urged Democrats to move beyond the investigation and focus on more pertinent issues to the American people like the border crisis, prescription drug prices, and infrastructure.
“It is sad that Chairman Nadler is only interested in pandering to the press and pleasing his radical left constituency,” Sanders wrote.
Earlier Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that Barr should be held in contempt of Congress for his refusal to testify to the committee and accused him of lying to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

President Trump Asserts Executive Privilege Over Unredacted Mueller Report
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump asserted executive privilege over the unredacted report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller. His action came after Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, refused to delay a vote to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt. Barr had offered a less redacted report to 12 lawmakers, but only two took advantage of this offer.
Democrats have argued that even though 92 percent of the Mueller report has been made public, the remaining eight percent must be the most damning. Yet many of the public parts of the report are already embarrassing to President Donald Trump, although they show no collusion with Russia.
"The American people see through Chairman Nadler's desperate ploy to distract from the President's historically successful agenda and our booming economy," White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. "Neither the White House nor Attorney General Barr will comply with Chairman Nadler's unlawful and reckless demands."
"The Attorney General has been transparent and accommodating throughout this process, including by releasing the no-collusion, no-conspiracy, no-obstruction Mueller Report to the public and offering to testify before the Committee," Sanders added. "These attempts to work with the Committee have been flatly rejected. They didn't like the results of the report, and now they want a redo."
"Faced with Chairman Nadler's blatant abuse of power, at the Attorney General's request, the President has no other option than to make a protective assertion of executive privilege."

Indeed, Barr formally requested that Trump assert executive privilege.
NEWS: DOJ is asking the White House to invoke executive privilege over the entire Mueller report and underlying evidence -- a defensive move as the House Judiciary Committee prepares a contempt vote for AG Barr.
