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

Biden voluntarily dismissed 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 ruled that the public interest in the material outweighed Biden's privacy concerns, allowing its release to a congressional committee. The recordings were obtained by special counsel Robert Hur during an investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents.
