Biden moves to block release of ghostwriter tapes in FOIA clash

The Justice Department plans to disclose redacted transcripts and audio of Biden’s conversations with a ghostwriter about classified materials to Congress and the Heritage Foundation, but Biden intends to intervene to prevent release. The Heritage Foundation accuses the administration of stonewalling, while Biden’s team argues the tapes weren’t meant for public release. A potential June timeline hinges on whether Biden files by Tuesday; the situation centers on transparency versus political considerations in a high-profile FOIA dispute.
