“Former President Donald Trump is considering sending a letter to Stephen Bannon saying that he is waiving executive privilege, potentially clearing the way for his former chief strategist to testify before the House select committee investigating the pro-Trump riot at the Capitol,” the Washington Post reports.
“The letter would reiterate that Trump invoked executive privilege in September 2021, when Bannon was first subpoenaed by the House committee. But it would say that the former president is now willing to give up that claim if Bannon can reach an agreement on the terms of an appearance before the panel.”
“Some advisers were seeking to talk Trump out of signing the letter.”
Of course, there was no executive privilege in the first place.
