Nixon, but only to the extent of confirming that there is a qualified privilege. Once invoked, a presumption of privilege is established, requiring the Prosecutor to make a "sufficient showing" that the "Presidential material" is "essential to the justice of the case."(418 U.S. at 713-14).Chief JusticeBurgerfurther stated that executive privilege would most effectively apply when the oversight of the executive would impair that branch's national security concerns.
