As the article explains: in the Espy case, the executive privilege may include only the president; his cabinet, and inner circle of immediate advisors.

It cannot be invoked when official misconduct is suspected.

“Executive privilege:

It extends to his aides as well. Matters that directly involve the whitehouse.
