Several legal pundits are saying former presidents can't invoke executive privilege. That's not true

[In] Nixon v. Administrator of General Services (Nixon II) ... the Supreme Court determined that the protections of the presidential communications privilege survive beyond the conclusion of the presidential administration within which they occur and may be asserted by a former President. Nixon II involved a challenge brought by former-President Nixon to the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act, a records disposition law enacted shortly after President Nixon’s resignation, and a precursor to the PRA. In upholding the law, the Court concluded that a former President may “legitimately” assert the privilege to prevent disclosure of his official records after he has left office. In reaching that conclusion, the Court reasoned that the confidentiality necessary to ensure the free exchange of ideas between the President and his advisors cannot be measured by the few months or years between the submission of the information and the end of the President’s tenure; the privilege is not for the benefit of the President as an individual, but for the benefit of the Republic. Therefore the privilege survives the individual President’s tenure.
