Biden fights release of memoir tapes amid DOJ privacy dispute
TL;DR Summary
Former President Joe Biden is suing to block the Justice Department from releasing audio recordings and transcripts of conversations with his memoir ghostwriter, arguing the tapes contain private discussions about his son Beau’s death and deserve privacy protection. The recordings, made during a classified-documents investigation that ended with no charges, are slated for release to Congress on June 15, and Biden also opposes sharing them with the Heritage Foundation in a related dispute. The case underscores ongoing questions about privacy in criminal investigations, though Special Counsel Robert Hur did not charge Biden.
