Yes, but if Trump uses Exec Privilege, it would unfortunately make it look like he’s trying to hide something that Bolton will say. Even if he has nothing to hide.

Yes, of course. That is axiomatic every time privilege is asserted.

But the issue is institutional at this point. It has little to do with the instant case. The WH will fight a process where Congress attempts to side-step the courts on the question of privilege.
