Beatty's attys say defendants take the position that all communications with Trump—even in his capacity in the voluntarily assumed post of Kennedy Center chairman—are protected by executive privilege &/or presidential communications privilege. 2/2
Defendants Withheld Swaths of Relevant Information Via Executive Privilege
These concerns about the systemic deficiencies in Defendants' responses to written discovery requests—which are exemplary rather than comprehensive-are compounded by the fact that Defendants have improperly withheld swaths of material based on blanket claims of potential Executive Privilege, in ways that are plainly inappropriate.
Plaintiff intends shortly to file a motion to compel with respect to Executive Privilege.
Plaintiff briefly mentions her concerns with respect to Executive Privilege now to demonstrate how the sum of the two issues outlined in this statement has essentially left her without meaningful discovery in this important matter, absent extension of existing deadlines (in particular, briefing and resolution of summary judgment). Among other things, Defendants have instructed one witness already not to answer any questions regarding the substance of communications involving the Chairman. They have told Plaintiff's counsel that they will instruct Mr. Floca similarly not to answer any questions about conversations with the Chairman (despite relying on Mr. Floca's testimony regarding conversations with the Chairman in their summary judgment motion). Meanwhile, Defendants have asserted a blanket privilege over any written document that "mav have the effect of seeking information protected by the presidential communications privilege."

In a filing yesterday in Kennedy Center case, Rep Beatty says defendants have “categorically refused" to provide ordered discovery on Trump’s threats to close or demolish the Center if his name doesn’t go back on the façade. … 1/2 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Perhaps most starkly, Defendants have categorically refused to respond to admissions regarding Plaintiff's Supplemental Authority, which addressed two separate threats by Chairman Trump to close or demolish the Kennedy Center if he was not adequately recognized.
Defendants objected and withheld a response on the basis that such information is outside the scope of discovery, despite this Court expressly authorizing discovery by minute order into that precise topic. On Defendants' telling, although "the information requested" is the " 'subject' of Plaintiff's Notice of Supplemental Authority and facially within the Court's minute order," it is not "related to the 'substance, justification, mechanics, and process' of the Board at its August and September meetings." This directly violates the Court's minute order which made crystal clear that this is a topic for discovery.

Thiel is on record with the opinion that democracy does not work because most people are too stupid or not worthy to rule themselves. His goal is techno feudalism. With the single ai they want to use for all of the government departments, they will have control of every aspect of our lives.

This is an indirect measure of how much hypocrisy is baked into partisan politics now, at least for the GOP. They assume that they can accuse future Dem Presidents of engaging in authoritarian actions, regardless of whether if it is true or not, while dismissing any questioning of their integrity.
