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

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.
