Biden seeks to block release of Hur interview audio and transcripts

Former President Biden filed a federal lawsuit to prevent the Justice Department from releasing transcripts and audio of interviews tied to Robert Hur’s probe into his handling of classified documents, arguing the materials are private. Hur’s 2024 report concluded there was no criminal wrongdoing but described Biden as a well-meaning, elderly man with memory lapses. The move adds to a broader battle over disclosures, with Republicans pressing for release to Congress while Democrats emphasize privacy and cooperation with the investigation.
