Biden sues justice department to block release of Hur interview audio

Former President Joe Biden has filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department to prevent the release of audio recordings and transcripts from interviews that reveal his memory lapses, which could impact his 2024 re-election campaign. The recordings, linked to a classified documents inquiry, were obtained by Special Counsel Robert Hur.

This legal action underscores Biden's concerns over privacy and the potential political ramifications of the disclosures, as they may further complicate his efforts to secure a second term amid ongoing scrutiny of his handling of classified materials.
