Answer:

executive privilege

Step-by-step explanation:

On December 12, 2001, President George W. Bush made his first claim of executive privilege. It was a formal claim meant as a response to the congressional subpoena for prosecutorial records from the DOJ (Department of Justice). It was a battle about if the administration could or could not withhold documents that are supposed to involve prosecutorial matters.
