 NEW: Trump administration just SHUT DOWN Biden’s executive privilege claim.
Former President Joe Biden tried to block Congress from seeing records tied to his use of the autopen, claiming disclosure would harm the presidency.
“I am concerned that disclosure of these materials would damage important institutional interests of the Presidency, including by impairing the ability of future Presidents to receive robust, candid advice from their close advisers. For these reasons, I hereby assert executive privilege over the documents listed,” Biden wrote in a letter to Archival Operations Division of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Oct. 1, 2025, according to a copy of the letter obtained by Fox News Digital.
The Trump White House wasn’t buying it.
White House Counsel David Warrington responded to Biden’s letter writing: “Similarly, President Biden’s repeated abuses of the rights of American citizens during the pandemic and his politically motivated efforts to investigate Members of Congress must also be subject to a full accounting to ensure nothing similar ever happens again. Congress has a compelling need in service of its legislative functions to understand the circumstances that led to all these horrific events.”
