Federal judge rejects Biden's bid to block release of Hur investigation audio and ghostwriter recordings
Associated Press—A federal judge denied Joe Biden's lawsuit seeking to block public release of audio recordings from the Robert Hur special-counsel investigation. The ruling covers both transcripts linked to the inquiry and recordings Biden made with his ghostwriter for a memoir. Biden's legal team had argued executive privilege and privacy grounds, but the court rejected those claims. The decision could expose candid audio that may bear on questions about Biden's memory and mental acuity raised during the inquiry. The recordings are now expected to be released publicly, with Biden's legal team weighing next steps.
