WASHINGTON — President Trump asserted executive privilege on Wednesday in an effort to shield hidden portions of Robert S. Mueller III’s unredacted report and the evidence he collected from Congress.

The assertion, Mr. Trump’s first use of the secrecy powers as president, came as the House Judiciary Committee is expected to vote Wednesday morning to recommend the House of Representatives hold Attorney General William P. Barr in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena for the same material.

“This is to advise you that the president has asserted executive privilege over the entirety of the subpoenaed materials,” a Justice Department official, Stephen E. Boyd, wrote Wednesday morning, referencing not only the Mueller report but the underlying evidence that House Democrats are seeking.

Trump is behaving extra unhinged. And just imagine it....if he'd taken his fellow republican's advice and stayed out of the investigation's way he would be in a much better position. He could have rode No Obstruction into the sunset. Instead he still has investigations rolling in nonstop.

And more in the wings. The only thing shielding him is his title.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the Trump administration’s defiance of subpoenas could be an impeachable offense.

Nancy Pelosi Says Trump Ignoring Subpoenas Could Be Impeachable Offense
"Every day he’s obstructing justice by saying this one should testify, that one shouldn’t testify."

How is this not getting more traction in the press? Seems to be doing much more obstruction, and more flagrantly for that matter, now than with the probe.
