Appeals Court Allows Release of Biden's Memoir Interview Recordings

Appeals Court Allows Release of Biden's Memoir Interview RecordingsPreviousNext

A federal appeals court ruled that the Justice Department can release audio recordings and transcripts of interviews former President Joe Biden gave to his memoir ghostwriter in 2016 and 2017. The court denied Biden's request to block the disclosure, citing public interest over privacy concerns, though it temporarily delayed the release to allow further legal review. The materials, obtained during a criminal investigation that did not result in charges, are sought by the Heritage Foundation and House Republicans and may become public if Biden's legal challenges fail.
