President Trump is within his rights to invoke executive privilege, including when it comes to former White House communications director Hope Hicks, according to Alan Dershowitz.

Congressional lawmakers often claim presidents are not "above the law" in many of these cases, but Congress itself is also not "above the law," Dershowitz told host Laura Ingraham on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle."

"Each branch of the government has a form of executive privilege," Dershowitz said Wednesday night. "The president is perfectly entitled to invoke executive privilege. If they think it goes too far ... let the courts decide.

Assertion of the privilege belongs to the holder of the privilege, in this case, the President. He should seek a protective order from the courts if Hope Hicks agrees to testify voluntarily.

...If they think it goes too far ... let the courts decide...

Ha!
