Oversight Project Releases 70+ Hours of Biden Tapes After 2-Year FOIA Fight

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 27

Summary

  • More than 70 hours of Joe Biden’s 2016-2017 interviews with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer were posted after Biden’s lawyers dropped their bid to block release and a judge accepted the move Monday.
  • The recordings were obtained during special counsel Robert Hur’s classified-documents investigation, and the Oversight Project said the public should hear the material and transcripts Hur relied on.
  • Hur had described Biden as "painfully slow" and struggling to remember events, writing that his memory was significantly limited in both the 2017 ghostwriter interviews and a 2023 interview with investigators.
  • That assessment helped Hur decline charges over Biden’s handling of classified material, concluding prosecutors could not prove willful retention or disclosure beyond a reasonable doubt.
