There is a lot of "sky is falling" surrounding this ruling because the order seems to leave open the idea of Trump being able to claim executive privilege. However, the order specifies for congressional investigations. You cannot claim executive privilege against the executive branch as the concept of it is designed to privilege information of the executive branch from the other two.
For the record, expect an appeal. The order includes an injunction on the investigation which it is immediately appealable. Plus, there are questions surrounding the jurisdiction of the judge in this case as Trump's team judge shopped and this is not where the order originated for the search, which is where it should have been brought.
