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

President 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 had rejected Biden's bid to block the release, citing substantial public interest. The recordings, obtained by special counsel Robert Hur during an investigation of Biden's handling of classified documents, will now be provided to a congressional committee.
