(The Guardian) The New York Times is reporting that the Trump administration is planning to release audio of former president Joe Biden’s 2023 interview with the special counsel investigating his handling of classified documents.
The audio recording could be released as early as next week.
Biden was interviewed at the White House in October 2023 by Robert K Hur, who had been appointed to investigate whether crimes had been committed related to classified documents found at Biden’s former office and home after he left the Obama administration.
It looks like Axios obtained some of the audio of the interviews between former President Joe Biden and special counsel Robert Hur in October 2023.
Biden is heard struggling to recall the year his son died, when he left the vice presidency, when Donald Trump was elected, and why he had classified documents.
The recordings include long pauses, occasional slurred speech, and mumbled responses, Axios reports.
The newly released audio offers a better look into why the White House resisted calls to release the recordings last year, as concerns about Biden’s memory and cognitive sharpness mounted.
The recordings come less than a week until a new book on that topic – “Original Sin,” by Axios’ Alex Thompson and CNN’s Jake Tapper — will be released.
