Executive privilege was plumbed fairly deeply in Nixon impeachment.

US v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974)

Important to note that piercing the privilege depended on a need to get to the bottom of a criminal charge - an element missing from the Trump case. SCOTUS, in US v. Nixon, was deferential to privilege, and took only as much as the court needed for the court to do the court's duty.
