That's not how States Secret privilege works at all (and I've litigated several).
Executive Branch does not get to shut down judiciary inquiry. Quite the opposite, per Supreme Court.
Trump Administration is proceeding at its own peril.

Bait & switch from 2 top reasons ppl voted for Trump. Lower inflation & secure the border/remove illegals have been replaced by autocratic presidency per Project 2025.

“When you look at this branch of government, it’s a disgrace. They say co-equal. Nobody believes this. It’s a tremendous disgrace what’s happening with court.”
From my very limited grasp (I’m just a workers comp lawyer 😂) it is an evidentiary privilege, so similar to work product or attorney client. Not a shield to shut down judicial inquiry into possible violation of a court order.
