Biden Sues to Block Memoir Audio in Classified-Docs Probe

Former President Joe Biden filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts of his private interviews with a ghostwriter assisting with his memoir, arguing release would undermine sensitive information in a probe of his handling of classified materials. The DOJ intends to provide the material to a congressional committee and a conservative think tank (the Heritage Foundation), a move Biden’s suit challenges as arbitrary and lacking legislative purpose.
