Biden moves to block release of 2017 memoir audio in DOJ showdown
DOJ plans to release about 70 hours of redacted audio from Biden’s 2017 interviews with a memoir ghostwriter; Biden says he will seek to block disclosures, with a Tuesday deadline to take legal action and possible releases to Congress and the Heritage Foundation. The tapes, tied to Special Counsel Hur’s investigation, may be edited for privacy and to remove classified material. Heritage vows to continue pursuing access, while the White House frames the move as political and argues it serves no public interest and raises privacy/executive-privilege questions.
