I was specifically referring to during the impeachment hearings in the House.
I followed them pretty closely and I don't remember the WH actually invoking EP over any of the witnesses that testified.

Like I said, there is a process.

When the privilege is invoked (in writing), there are usually back and forth negotiations between the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch, where they are supposed to negotiate in good faith in order to reach some kind of accommodation.

I could be wrong, but I don't remember that happening in this case.

This WH never does anything in good faith.

The WH did try to say that senior White House aides enjoy 'absolute immunity' from congressional subpoenas in regards to former WH Attorney Don McGahn being subpoenaed, but they were laughed out of court.
