Biden Classified Docs Audio
Audio from Biden memoir interviews shows him discussing classified documents at home.
Summary
Newly released audio from Joe Biden’s interviews with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer for his 2017 memoir includes Biden saying he had found “classified stuff” at his home before his 2020 campaign. The recordings were released by the Oversight Project after Biden’s attorneys ended a legal fight over access to the tapes. The audio also captures Biden struggling to recall some dates and details, material cited in special counsel Robert Hur’s 2023 classified-documents report. Some interview recordings contain gaps linked to Zwonitzer’s erasures.
The Coverage
Biden cover-up
Biden’s defenders hid or minimized evidence that he had serious memory problems while handling classified documents. The tapes, erased recordings, and public defenses point to deception meant to protect him from accountability.
Fauci media ties
Anthony Fauci benefited from a press corps that was too cozy with him and too willing to protect his image. Chuck Todd’s relationship with Fauci makes Poynter’s decision to honor him a reward for the same media misconduct the public should not forget.
