Explanation:

In 2007, President George W. Bush invoked executive privilege and refused to respond to a House panel subpoena. This was in response to the request of documents from former president counsel Harriet Miers and former political director Sara Taylor. This disregarded the advice of his attorney general and vice president to turn over the information. Bush, however, argued that this was necessary, as the president required his advisors to feel comfortable being candid and offering honest advice.
