Trump DOJ asserts presidential privilege over drug boat drone strikes memo

The Department of Justice has invoked presidential privilege to keep secret a legal memo that allegedly justified drone strikes on drug boats during the Trump administration. The American Civil Liberties Union is pushing for this document to be made public, claiming transparency is crucial for understanding the legal basis behind such military actions. This move highlights ongoing tensions between executive secrecy and the public's right to know, especially when it comes to the use of lethal force abroad. The case underscores the broader debate over the limits of presidential power and the importance of oversight.
