Does the DC District Court have authority to do this?

This will probably go to SCOTUS.

As with most of these challenges, they end up in Scotus.

What the court said is that the assertion of executive privilege at this time is too broad and needs to be tailored to fit the specifics, then the court will likely uphold the right to assert executive privilege. They can't refuse to say anything about all knowledge they have but they can refuse to give specific information related to the President's Executive authority.
