Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Biden Sues DOJ Over Release Of Private Interview Recordings
Caption: Biden Sues DOJ Over Release Of Private Interview Recordings. Former President Joe Biden is suing the U.S. Department of Justice to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts from private conversations with his biographer. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., ahead of the DOJ’s planned June 15 release of the materials to the House Judiciary Committee and the conservative Heritage Foundation. The recordings were made in 2016 and 2017 during the creation of Biden’s memoir Promise Me, Dad, which focused on his family and the illness of his son, Beau Biden. The materials later became part of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents, though no criminal charges were filed. Biden’s legal team claims the release request is politically motivated and designed to bypass federal protections on private records. The lawsuit asks the court to permanently stop the DOJ from releasing the audio and transcripts. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
