Nichols, a Trump appointee, noted that the full House Trump to invoke executive privilege to keep the Jan. Trump is now a former — not a sitting — president, and his claims to executive privilege would be weaker. Circuit ruled in 1974 that a Senate committee investigating the Watergate scandal could not force Nixon, then the sitting president, to turn over tapes of his Oval Office conversations. Trump’s case would be whether a president could be similarly hindered by a fear of being forced to testify in front of Congress.

But there is no Supreme Court precedent that says whether Congress has the power to compel former presidents to testify against their will about their actions in office.
