Taft does not have right to refuse to testify

[ck4829]

"According to The Columbus Disptach (subscription required) Governor Taft has refused to testify, and he has prohibited five other current and former members of his administration from testifying, in a Coingate lawsuit filed by State Sen. Marc Dann. Taft has cited “executive privilege” as the reason for refusing to testify. According to Sen. Dann, “executive privilege” is a concept foreign to Ohio law, and Taft has no legal right to refuse to testify. I did a little bit of legal research myself, and I was also unable to find a single Ohio case applying the concept of executive privilege."
