DONALD J. TRUMP February 23, 2022 The Honorable David S. Ferriero Archivist of the United States U.S. National Archives and Records Admi Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Ferriero, I write concerning requests for documents and records sent to the National Archives and Records Administration (“NARA”) on March 25, 2021 and August 25, 2021, by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (the “Committee”). The Committee requested an extremely broad set of documents and records, potentially numbering in the millions, which unquestionably contain information protected from disclosure by the executive and other privileges, including but not limited to the presidential communications, deliberative process, and attomey-client privileges. On February 8, 2022 NARA noticed the seventh set of Presidential records for review (the “Seventh Notification”). Following a review of such records, pursuant to the Presidential Records Act, Executive Order 13489, and 36 CFR 1270.44, I have determined that the records identified in the table annexed as Schedule 1 to this letter are subject to executive privilege, including the presidential communications and deliberative process privileges, and I hereby formally assert executive privilege over these records. Certain documents included in the Seventh Notification may be subject to other privileges, including without limitation the attorney-client and work-product privileges. To the extent required, any attomey-client or other privilege is not waived and a further review may be required depending on the outcome of the process provided for under the Presidential Records Act, 36 CFR 1270.44, and Executive Order 13489, Finally, pursuant to the Presidential Records Act, Executive Order 13489, and 36 CFR 1270.44, I hereby make a protective assertion of constitutionally based privilege with respect to all additional records following the Seventh Notification. In cases like this, where Congress has declined to grant sufficient time to conduct a full review, there is a longstanding bipartisan tradition of protective assertions of executive privilege designed to ensure the ability to make a final privilege assertion, if necessary, over some or all of the requested material. See Protective Assertion of Executive Privilege Regarding White House Counsel's Office Documents, 20 Op. O.L.C. 1 (1996) (opinion of Attomey General Janet Reno). This protective assertion is intended to ensure that I have the ability to make a final assertion of executive privilege, if necessary and appropriate, following a full review of the requested materials. See Letter for the President from William P. Barr, Attorney General, at 1-2 (May 8, 2019), Sincerely, FOOD FFFESOOOON TOOO'6PETROGOON | TOOOTOEDGLOODON = TOO EDFLOOVON ] ZOO FETFIOOOON 49.0, -a9u0 =49d0 | _etssoo00n-aszo | _esteeoo00n-a9c0 | =4940 =a9u0) TOO FFIESIOOON TOO BEOELONOON TOO SeOFCOOOON | TOOT FZEFTOODON -4940 | __ 698¢30000N-4940 -4940 | _s818s0900N-a90 | _9s¥8coo00N-a9c0 4940 sa9u0 OOO FFSESOOGON.
