President Trump Blasts Biden For Latest Effort To Hide Audio Files: ‘A Crooked Politician!’

Joe Biden has been out of office for more than a year and out of his mind for a lot longer than that.

But President Donald Trump is highlighting evidence that Biden-era corruption still seems alive and well.

Fox News provided a rundown of the latest developments as well as Trump’s assessment:

President Donald Trump lashed out at former President Joe Biden late Tuesday after his predecessor sued the Justice Department to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts tied to the special counsel investigation into his handling of classified documents.

“A Crooked Politician!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social while sharing a Just the News article about Biden’s lawsuit against the DOJ.

Biden sued the Justice Department on Tuesday in an effort to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts of the former president’s interview with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer that were obtained by special counsel Robert Hur during his classified documents investigation.

Biden’s lawyers said in the lawsuit that the Justice Department plans to release the files to Congress and the conservative Heritage Foundation after previously arguing that they were exempt from disclosure under federal public records law.

The most recent Biden scandal quickly took root via social media:

I wonder why… Poor Joe, just smart enough to know he was a puppet, but too stupid to actually be anything else.

Part of me believes that Biden’s legal team is correct and he deserves privacy, but then I remember that the Biden DOJ didn’t offer that privacy to Trump when they raided his home in Mar-a-Lago and he should get the same treatment.

What better way to put the public’s mind at ease than to demand they can’t hear what you said

Here’s some additional coverage from the New York Post:

At issue in the case are audio recordings and transcripts of Biden’s interviews at his home in 2016 and 2017 with Mark Zwonitzer, who worked with Biden on his two memoirs.

The files were scrutinized by special counsel Robert Hur as part of his investigation into the president’s improper retention of classified documents, from his time as a senator and as vice president.

Hur’s yearlong investigation led to a 388-page report, which the DOJ released on Feb. 8, 2024, that questioned Biden’s age and mental competence but recommended no criminal charges against the then-81-year-old. Hur said he found insufficient evidence to successfully prosecute a case in court.

“We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter,” Hur’s report revealed. “We conclude the same even if there was no policy against charging a sitting president.”

But his report was damning, particularly as the special counsel “uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified information after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”

“These materials included (1) marked classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and (2) notebooks containing Mr. Biden’s handwritten entries about issues of national security and foreign policy implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods,” the report said.

The FBI recovered such documents from the “garage, offices and basement den” in Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware, home.

Hur’s report also painted a damning indictment of Biden’s mental competence, describing the then-president’s memory as “significantly limited, both during his recorded interviews with the ghostwriter in 2017, and in his interview with our office in 2023.”
