Episode Details

A federal judge has blocked former President Joe Biden’s attempt to keep private recordings he made with a ghostwriter in 2017, ruling that public interest outweighs his privacy claims. The tapes, sought by a Heritage Foundation staffer after Robert Hur’s investigation ended without charges, were initially withheld by Biden’s administration — leading to Attorney General Garland being held in contempt — before the Trump-era Justice Department approved their release. Biden’s legal team argued the tapes contain deeply personal content, including references to his son’s death, but the judge noted those sensitive details were redacted and no private individuals were mentioned. Biden’s team is now seeking to pause the release while appealing, though the judge — a Trump appointee — made it clear the public’s right to know prevailed.
