00:02Former President Joe Biden is suing the Justice Department in an effort to keep hours of recordings tied to the
00:09classified documents investigation from becoming public.
00:12The lawsuit centers on interviews Biden gave in 2016 and 2017 to ghostwriter Mark Zwanitzer while working on his memoirs.
00:21Those recordings later became part of special counsel Robert Herr's investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents.
00:28Herr's investigation ultimately recommended no criminal charges, but his report sparked a major political firestorm after raising questions about Biden's
00:38mental capacity, describing him as a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.
00:44Biden's attorneys now argue releasing the material would violate his privacy rights, saying the conversations took place inside his home
00:52and were obtained through a criminal investigation.
00:54The suit comes after the Justice Department said it planned to release the recordings and transcripts to Congress and to
01:01the Conservative Heritage Foundation next month.
01:04President Trump weighed in late Tuesday on Truth Social, calling Biden a crooked politician.
