Grab the Popcorn: Trump Executive Privilege Decision Means All That Info on Biden Is Coming Out

President Donald Trump just made a big decision that will likely expose a lot of information that was not released about Joe Biden during his occupation of the Oval Office.

Trump has rejected Biden's claim of executive privilege to not turn over documents requested in various Senate probes, determining it is "not in the best interests of the United States." 

White House counsel David Warrington wrote Monday in a letter addressed to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and obtained by Fox News Digital that Trump "does not uphold the former President’s assertion of privilege" over records sought in four congressional probes. The letter directs NARA to provide the materials to Congress.

The dispute centers on documents related to investigations into Biden’s health, alleged politically motivated probes into Trump and his allies, and the Biden family’s financial dealings, which Republicans argue go to the heart of Congress’s constitutional authority to conduct oversight.

That means that the White House is telling NARA to turn over anything about the "cover-up" of "Biden’s health and cognitive decline." Imagine all the potential documents that could involve — we could see all the machinations and who specifically did what regarding any concealing of his cognitive decline.

"The abuse of the autopen that took place during the Biden Presidency, and the extraordinary efforts to shield President Biden’s diminished faculties from the public, must be subject to a full accounting to ensure nothing similar ever happens again," Warrington wrote, quoting a prior letter.

Warrington had previously weighed in when Trump denied the executive privilege regarding the autopen issue.

The White House argued that "the constitutional protections of executive privilege should not be used to shield from Congress evidence of a President’s efforts to imprison his opponent."

Then the third set relates to the "Biden family’s financial dealings and potential conflicts of interest." That could encompass a ton of interesting stuff, including the interactions with foreign nationals.

So Warrington directed NARA to turn over the three sets of records to the various congressional committees requesting them. 

Democrats are always screaming about transparency — while not being transparent. Why should any of that information held back by the Biden team not be released — unless there are things in there that they just don't want us to see? We need to have it all come out if we are to have any accountability in those probes. We've had a glaring lack of accountability for Democrat misconduct for far too long. This may finally get us closer to some real action, in addition to exposing more of the truth.
