I think Dwight Eisenhower was the first president to invoke executive privilege. Back then he used it close another screwed up chapter in American politics and bring to an end Senator Joe McCarthy's fishing expedition for Russians. Of McCarthy's fishing expedition Eisenhower wrote: “It is a sad commentary on our government when such a manifestly useless and spurious thing can divert our attention from all the constructive work in which we could and should be engaged.”
