Short answer: No.

Former FBI Director, James Comey, is set to testify before Congress next week about whether President Trump pressured him to drop an investigation surrounding Mike Flynn’s ties to Russia. It is now being reported that Trump may try to block Comey from testifying by asserting executive privilege. Executive privilege allows the president to keep conversations with his advisors private.

The way this has been reported leads us to believe that Trump is actively seeking a way to keep Comey from testifying, but there is no proof that this question has emerged because of Trump’s actions. This is quite possibly another case of reporters thinking of ways to trap Trump into looking bad – along the lines of the familiar questioning: “So, when did you stop beating your wife?” This teaches us not to accept the premise that Trump is actually trying to assert executive privilege – simply wait for more facts to emerge before we judge whether Trump wants something to be hidden or not.
