Biden to fight release of memoir-audio tapes in legal showdown

President Biden plans to seek court action to block the release of roughly 70 hours of partially redacted audio from his 2017 interviews with a memoir ghostwriter, arguing disclosures could be weaponized or invade privacy; the DOJ says Biden has a deadline to act and a release to Congress and the Heritage Foundation could be paused until June 15 if he goes to court. The tapes include Biden saying he "found all the classified stuff downstairs," though he has repeatedly said he did not share classified information. The case centers on FOIA litigation and whether the materials are personal records or presidential papers, with implications for transparency and congressional access.

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.

"Biden's Ghostwriter Under Scrutiny: Judiciary Requests Information"

The House Judiciary Committee has requested President Biden's ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, to provide any recordings and notes from their conversations, following special counsel Robert Hur's report that Biden shared classified information with the ghostwriter. Zwonitzer is unlikely to fully comply with the request as he deleted the audio recordings but retained the transcripts. The report concluded that while Biden risked sharing classified information, it did not prove that Zwonitzer intended to impede the investigation. The Judiciary Committee has also asked the Justice Department to turn over its recordings of Hur's interview with Biden.

AI-Generated Drake and The Weeknd Song Submitted for Grammys: Eligibility Questioned

An AI-generated song featuring facsimiles of Drake and The Weeknd's voices, titled "Heart on My Sleeve," has been submitted for Grammy consideration by Ghostwriter, the creator of the viral AI-generated track. While the song was written by a human, neither Drake nor The Weeknd were involved. However, the track's eligibility is in question due to copyright issues and the requirement for broad distribution. The Recording Academy clarified that AI-generated works are not eligible for awards, but if a human writes the track and AI is used for voice modeling, the writing would be eligible. The commercial viability of "Heart on My Sleeve" remains uncertain.
