  • Former President Joe Biden's legal team has filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department to prevent the release of audio recordings and transcripts from interviews he conducted with a ghostwriter.
  • These materials were gathered during the special counsel's investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents.
  • Biden's attorneys argue that disclosing these files to Congress and the conservative Heritage Foundation would constitute an "unwarranted invasion of President Biden’s privacy."
  • The Justice Department had previously indicated its intent to release these documents, despite earlier claims that they were exempt from public records law.
  • Donald Trump reacted to the news by calling Biden a "crooked politician" on Truth Social.
