Executive privilege for a former president regarding events, documents and conversations that occurred during his presidency is a very grey area. Some experts say the current president must approve it (perhaps to protect future presidents from harassment). Others say privilege over activities during the presidency survives post presidency. Also the nature of the conversation/activities and the people involved is a factor.
