Trump Eyes Release of Hur Interview Blocked by Biden

  • Officials within the Trump administration are exploring the possibility of making public the audio recordings from former President Joe Biden's October 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
  • This action follows Hur's investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents and concerns about Biden's mental acuity raised in Hur's final report.
  • Biden asserted executive privilege in May 2024 to block the tapes, citing privacy and fears the release could deter future witnesses, while conservative groups and news outlets sued to obtain them.
  • Hur described Biden as a well-meaning elderly man with poor memory, and Republicans argue the tapes would confirm a significant cover-up and challenge Biden's fitness claims.
  • The Justice Department faces a May 20 deadline to decide whether to maintain executive privilege, while Biden's team prepares for potential release and Trump has not finalized a decision.
