House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoenaed President Joe Biden‘s ghostwriter on Friday for records related to past work the writer did for the president that may have involved classified material.
The subpoena, issued to Mark Zwonitzer and reviewed by the Washington Examiner, asked the ghostwriter to hand over the requested material, including communications, work contracts, and recordings and transcripts of interviews he had with Biden, by April 12.
Zwonitzer worked for months with Biden to help write his 2017 memoir, Promise Me, Dad, but former special counsel Robert Hur found during a yearlong investigation that Biden had inappropriately disclosed classified information to Zwonitzer during the book writing process.
Hur also found that after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed him to investigate Biden’s handling of classified material, Zwonitzer attempted to delete audio recordings he had saved of interviews with Biden. The special counsel said the FBI was able to recover the recordings, however.
Jordan noted in a letter to Zwonitzer that the day the Department of Justice published Hur’s report, on Feb. 8, Biden held a press conference during which he “denied sharing classified information with you during your work as his ghostwriter,” a point that Hur’s report “unequivocally” contradicted.
