executive privilege
Explanation
The question is asking for the term used when the president withholds information in the public interest. This is a concept in politics, specifically in the context of the powers of the president. The term for this is "executive privilege". Executive privilege is the power of the President of the United States and other members of the executive branch of the United States Government to resist certain subpoenas and other interventions by the legislative and judicial branches of government in pursuit of information or personnel relating to the executive. The concept of executive privilege is not explicitly mentioned in the United States Constitution, but the Supreme Court of the United States ruled it to be an element of the separation of powers doctrine, and/or derived from the supremacy of executive branch in its own area of Constitutional activity.
