Released Biden Recordings Reveal Discussions on Classified Material and Memory Challenges
Audio recordings of former US President Joe Biden's interviews with his biographer Mark Zwonitzer have been released, revealing discussions about classified material. The tapes, cited in a 2024 special counsel report, suggest Biden retained classified documents after his vice presidency but showed memory lapses. The report found insufficient evidence for prosecution. Biden had opposed releasing the recordings but withdrew his legal challenge. Portions of the tapes remain redacted, and no classified information appeared in the published book.
