Executive privilege

Executive privilege is like a secret that the president or people who work for the president can keep if they need to. It's kind of like when your Mom or Dad tells you that you can't tell anyone else something that they told you. The president might need to keep something secret because it could be dangerous for the country if everyone knew about it. For example, let's say the president is talking to another country's leader about something important. The president would want to keep that conversation private so that other people don't find out and use it against the country. So, executive privilege helps the president or people that work for the president keep important information a secret, just like how your Mom or Dad might sometimes ask you to keep something a secret too.
