Biden drops lawsuit seeking to block release of recordings of his interviews with a ghostwriter

Joe Biden dropped a lawsuit seeking to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts from his 2016-2017 interviews with memoir ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer. A divided appeals court panel previously rejected Biden's bid to block disclosure, ruling there was a 'substantial' public interest in the material's release. The recordings, obtained by special counsel Robert Hur during an investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents, will now be provided to a congressional committee.
