a FOIA request for the 500+ page report on FBI's background of investigation of Brett Kavanaughwas denied because of

Executive Privilege

A background check for a nominee for the Third Branch of government is covered by Executive Privilege?

As George Mason University professor Mark Rozell explained in a 1999 article for the Minnesota Law Review, executive privilege is “the right of the President and high-level executive branch officers to withhold information from Congress, the courts, and ultimately the public.” This power can be used in two circumstances: “(1) certain national security needs and (2) protecting the privacy of White House deliberations when it is in the public interest to do so.” The second part is especially valuable, as it allows presidential advisors to freely speak their minds without the threat of a subpoena.

Explain why the background information on a SC nominee falls under Executive Privilege. Thx
