Privilege is never retroactive. Once disclosed, the information cannot be privileged and "undisclosed."MEADOWS says some of what Cooper said conflicted with Taylor. He also said Taylor may have revealed things subject to executive privilege.— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) October 23, 2019
The closest case would be attorney-client privilege, where the attorney could be disciplined for improper disclosures. I suppose a government employee could be disciplined retroactively, but I assume civil service laws protect them.
