The Supreme Court previously agreed that chiefs could keep certain documents away from the public in order to make communication with employees easier and more open. But it is not clear whether a former president could refer to such protection.

President Joe Biden has so far rejected the request for protection, arguing that “it is necessary to shed light on the backdrop to the most serious attack on the federal government since the Civil War,” as expressed by Chancellor Dana Remus.
