Joe Biden Sues DOJ to Block Release of Private Interview Recordings
Former US President Joe Biden has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice to prevent the release of audio recordings and transcripts of private conversations with his biographer from 2016 and 2017. These materials, related to a 2023 special counsel investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents, are scheduled for release to the House Judiciary Committee and the Heritage Foundation. The lawsuit argues the committee's request is a pretext to bypass federal law, seeking to block the release permanently. The Justice Department has not commented on the matter.
