Former President Joe Biden has initiated a lawsuit against the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prevent the release of audio recordings and transcripts from private conversations with his biographer that took place in 2016 and 2017. The recordings are significant to special counsel Robert Hur's investigation regarding Biden's management of classified documents. Biden has denied sharing classified information, although Hur's investigation indicated that Biden read classified notebook passages aloud to his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer. Hur also noted that Biden's memory issues may complicate proving any willful misconduct. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Washington D.C. as the DOJ is set to release redacted transcripts and audio recordings to Congress and the Heritage Foundation on June 15, following a Freedom of Information Act request. Representatives for Biden and the DOJ did not respond to requests for comment.
