Trump's DOJ lays groundwork for subpoena fights with a Democratic Congress

The Justice Department's recent opinion that executive privilege could protect President Trump's communications with private advisers sets the stage for potential legal battles if Democrats win a majority in Congress. With Democrats planning to subpoena companies, colleges, and private citizens to access information, this ruling could complicate their efforts. Should Democrats retake Congress, this DOJ stance might create significant hurdles, making it harder to pursue investigations into matters they deem critical.
