To be honest, I don't remember. The husband and wife have the same protection as doctor/patient. I'm not sure how it works, and that's why I brought this up. I am not sure if there is any extra weight given to Michael's statements. Didn't the Clintons cite something similar?
Yes, but it works the other way, generally,again with some exceptions you cannot compel a spouse to testify against another,to protect the privacy of husband and wife communications. It does not apply here at all.
