Executive privilege
Executive privilege still occupies much of the public’s thoughts,
as the word continues to appear with regularity in the contretemps between President Trump and the House of Representatives.
The House Judiciary Committee voted Wednesday to recommend that the House hold Attorney General William P. Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over Robert S. Mueller III’s unredacted report, hours after President Trump asserted executive privilege to shield the full report and underlying evidence from Congress. — Nicholas Fandos, 8 May 2019
These two words are found in combined form since at least the last 18th century;
the sense that we define (“exemption from legally enforced disclosure of communications within the executive branch of government when such disclosure would adversely affect the functions and decision-making processes of the executive branch”),
which is more narrowly concerned with disclosure of information, dates from the early 20th century.
Messrs. W. Smith, Madison, Livingston, Sitgreaves, Harpers, and Claiborne supported the motion with great zeal; they contended that so far from interfering with Executive privileges, it went to strengthen any negociation which the Executive might be disposed to enter into, while it did not require any, if the Executive saw god reason to forbear the attempt. — The Independent Gazetteer (Philadelphia, PA), 14 May 1797

Privilege
During a congressional hearing about the IRS targeting ...
When:
Lookups spiked on May 22, 2013.
Why:
According to some commentators,
an IRS official waived her Fifth Amendment privileges by declaring her innocence during a congressional hearing about the targeting of Tea Party groups.
For example, as CNN reported,
"'She just testified. She just waived her Fifth Amendment right to privilege,' South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor, said to applause during Wednesday's hearing. 'You don't get to tell your side of the story and then not be subjected to cross-examination. That's not the way it works.'"
Privilege means "a right or immunity granted as a peculiar benefit, advantage, or favor."
It comes from the Latin words for "private" and "law,"
and referred to a law either against orfor a private person.
