Appeals court rejects Biden's bid to block release of recordings of ghostwriter interviews

A federal appeals court rejected Joe Biden's request to block release of audio recordings and transcripts from his 2016-2017 interviews with memoir ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer. The 2-1 ruling found public interest in disclosure outweighs privacy concerns, with redactions allowed. The recordings, obtained by special counsel Robert Hur during an investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents, were sought by Congress and the Heritage Foundation after Hur declined to charge Biden.
