Judicial Watch announced it requested a federal court to reject the Biden Justice Department's request to rewrite the Freedom of Information Act and that it order the release of the audio recordings of President Biden's interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur within 14 days.
Judicial Watch filed the first FOIA lawsuit and is the lead plaintiff asking for the Biden audio recordings of his interviews in Special Counsel Hur's criminal investigation of Biden's theft and disclosure of classified records.
Judicial Watch argues that the recordings should be released "Because an open question remains about whether Special Counsel Hur's conclusion that President Biden should not be prosecuted for his mishandling of classified records [and] is supported by the evidence."
Further, the audio would educate the public about "Whether Special Counsel Hur appropriately pursued justice by recommending to the attorney general that criminal charges should not be brought against President Biden concerning his mishandling of classified materials." This question "Is of even more import these days because another special counsel is currently prosecuting President Trump for allegedly engaging in similar actions. In addition to President Trump being both President Biden's former political opponent and the current Republican nominee in the upcoming Presidential election, President Trump is the only former president or vice president to be prosecuted for such actions."
"We hope the court rejects the Biden Justice Department's political request to rewrite FOIA law to hide the Biden tapes," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Prior to the finalization of the report, the White House issued a letter to the Special Counsel's office attacking the report's "Treatment of President Biden's memory," and added "There is ample evidence from your interview that the President did well in answering your questions".
The White House admitted to the court that the transcript of President Joe Biden's testimony to Special Counsel Robert Hur is not accurate and is missing "Filler words" and words that "May have been repeated when spoken" which were sometimes "Only listed a single time in the transcripts."
