Lawyers: Biden to fight DOJ plan to release audio of his talks with ghostwriter
Justice Department lawyers say the recordings include 70 hours of audio from Biden’s memoir sessions and could renew scrutiny of his handling of classified material.
- Facing a Tuesday deadline, former President Joe Biden plans to sue the Justice Department to block the release of 70 hours of 2017 audio recordings; the DOJ agreed to pause disclosure until June 15 if Biden files his legal challenge in time.
- The recordings stem from 2017 sessions where ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer worked with Biden on his memoir; Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigators recovered the files after Zwonitzer attempted to delete them upon learning of the 2023 probe.
- According to Special Counsel Robert Hur's report, Biden read classified notebook passages and said he "just found all the classified stuff downstairs"; Hur declined to charge Biden, describing him as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
- Biden spokesperson TJ Ducklo argued the push to release tapes is "about politics," noting Biden turned them over on condition they remain private; the Heritage Foundation calls them evidence of a "massive lie" regarding Biden's fitness.
- The court's decision will determine whether Congress and the Heritage Foundation can access the tapes, potentially reviving scrutiny of Biden's handling of classified material and shaping near-term public debate.
