After spending years insisting there was absolutely nothing to worry about regarding his mental sharpness, former dementia President Joe Biden is suing the Department of Justice to keep audio recordings (with possibly new info.) tied to Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation from becoming public.

According to a Just the News report, Biden’s lawsuit seeks to block the release of recordings and related transcripts from Biden’s interviews in 2016 and 2017 with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer, conversations that became part of the classified documents probe. The DOJ reportedly plans to release this information to Congress and the Heritage Foundation by mid-June.

Americans already saw redacted transcripts that were released in 2024 which documented Biden struggling with dates, timelines, and details during the Hur investigation. Hur famously described Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” while declining to recommend charges against Dementia Biden for mishandling classified documents.

Now Biden’s legal team claims the House Judiciary Committee never should have got the information in the first place and that releasing the audio would be an invasion of privacy for the recordings made in Biden’s “own home” and politically motivated, arguing the government should block the material from being made public.

But since when do the alleged “motives” behind a FOIA request determine whether records can be released? Critics say the argument is nonsense and amounts to an attempt to keep embarrassing material hidden from the public.

Republicans, meanwhile, are basically asking the obvious question: if the recordings are harmless, why the full DEFCON 1 effort to keep people from hearing them?

In Washington, nothing screams “confidence” quite like politicians racing to court so the public can’t find out what they are up to.
