Joe Biden’s Lawyers May Try to Block 70 Hours of Taped Recordings with Ghostwriter from Being ReleasedAmy Furr 11 May 2026
Former President Joe Biden’s (D) lawyers may try to block the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) release of his 2017 interactions with the ghostwriter who helped him produce the book in which he talked about the death of his son, Beau.
Fox News on Sunday cited a court filing wherein Assistant Attorney General Civil Division Brett Shumate wrote that the former president via his counsel advised DOJ officials he “intends to seek to intervene to prevent any such disclosures. The Department does not oppose intervention.”
The news surrounds redacted written transcripts and 70 hours of audio which the Heritage Foundation’s Mike Howell requested through the Freedom of Information Act.
In a social media post regarding that request, Howell said “These tapes belong to the American People. Why is the Autopen fighting @ItsYourGov to hide them?”
Tuesday is the deadline for Biden’s lawyers to respond to the DOJ’s release, but it could be delayed until June 15 if there is an objection before Tuesday.
