Prof. Kitrosser Quoted in USA Today and Politifact on Sessions Testimony

Professor Kitrosser was quoted in an article in USA Today on Attorney General Sessions’ recent congressional testimony and his efforts to use executive privilege without clearly invoking it. Kitrosser was quoted as saying, among other things: “What he did was an extreme version of that we’ve seen for years, which is presidents who want the advantages of executive privilege but don’t want the political and legal baggage that comes with it.” Kitrosser also was quoted on the same topic by the fact-checking website Politifact, in an article entitled: “Jeff Sessions Cites ‘Longstanding Policy’ to Deflect Senators’ Questions in Russia hearing.”
