Former President Joe Biden has taken the Department of Justice (DOJ) to court, seeking to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts from private interviews with his ghostwriter. The recordings were made in 2016 and 2017 at Biden’s home and are part of a special counsel investigation into how he handled classified documents.
Biden’s lawyers, in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., argue that all Americans, including sitting and former vice presidents, have a “right to privacy in the personal conversations he has within his own home.” They also claim that releasing the documents would cause Biden harm, including “costs to respond to the disclosure and other financial losses.”
