newsMay 26, 20269161

Former President Joe Biden filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice to block disclosure of audio recordings and transcripts of interviews he gave for a memoir project. The suit asks courts to stop DOJ officials from sharing the interview tapes and transcripts with the Heritage Foundation and Republican members of Congress. Biden says the materials are part of a private memoir process that should remain confidential while congressional investigators argue they need access for oversight. A ruling will shape whether presidential memoir materials can be kept private or must be turned over to federal investigators and lawmakers.
