Joe Biden interviews with memoir ghostwriter reveal him discussing sensitive information
The recordings include Biden’s comments on classified material and memory lapses, which special counsel Robert Hur cited in declining to bring charges.
- On Monday, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals dissolved its blocking injunction, allowing the Department of Justice to release roughly 70 hours of audio recordings of former President Joe Biden's conversations with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer to the House Judiciary Committee and The Heritage Foundation.
- The Heritage Foundation filed a Freedom of Information Act request on Feb. 9, 2024, seeking Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigative records; the DOJ denied it citing privacy concerns, prompting the conservative think tank to sue in March 2024.
- Hur's February 2024 report found Biden willfully retained classified materials and characterized him as having "diminished faculties and faulty memory," with the 70-hour recordings showing Biden "struggling to remember events" as early as 2016.
- The judge noted the case "involves an unusually strong public interest in the release of law enforcement materials," and after adverse rulings, Biden's legal team abandoned their lawsuit, which the Oversight Project called a "complete and total victory."
- Despite the recordings, no charges were brought, as Hur determined it would be "difficult to convince a jury" to convict Biden, a former president in his eighties, of a serious felony; Biden stepped aside after a June 2024 debate and plans a memoir sequel in November.
