Circuit reviews Biden’s challenge, after he sought emergency relief claiming public disclosure would end the case and violate privacy protections. The recordings, connected to ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer and cited in Hur’s report, fueled scrutiny of Biden’s memory and the decision not to prosecute, amid long-running FOIA efforts by the Heritage Foundation to obtain them.
