Trump's DOJ broadens executive privilege to cover outside advisors' communications

The Trump administration's Justice Department has issued a legal opinion making it easier for the president and his advisors — including those outside the executive branch — to keep communications private. The DOJ argues that without this expectation of privacy, the president's decision-making would be impeded. Critics warn the move could shield White House communications from congressional and public scrutiny.
