Headlines across America will likely proclaim a new era of transparency in the White House. Certainly when it comes to Presidential Records, this is definitely the case. In an Executive Order signed yesterday, Obama re-wrote the rules when it comes to claims of Executive Privilege. Bush had, in order # 13233, granted even the heirs of former presidents to assert privilege. Those days are over. At least during this Presidency.
