- Iowa governor’s office insists executive privilege can block release of staff emails
The Iowa Office of the Governor appeared before an Iowa state judge to argue that executive privilege can block the release of four staff emails concerning media coverage preparation. While the governor's office asserted a right to candid advice, the Des Moines Register challenged this claim, arguing the emails pertained only to political strategies rather than core state policy.
