DOJ under pres­sure to pro­duce audio of Biden inter­view with Hur

The Depart­ment of Jus­tice is fac­ing mount­ing pres­sure from Con­gress and var­i­ous orga­ni­za­tions to pro­vide audio record­ings of Pres­i­dent Joe Biden’s inter­view with the spe­cial coun­sel who inves­ti­gat­ed his han­dling of clas­si­fied doc­u­ments.
The DOJ has thus far resist­ed the requests from House Judi­cia­ry Com­mit­tee Chair­man Jim Jor­dan (R‑OH), House Over­sight Com­mit­tee Chair­man James Com­er (R‑KY), con­ser­v­a­tive groups such as Judi­cial Watch, and CNN, result­ing in esca­lat­ing legal pur­suits, a tense impasse with Con­gress, and healthy dos­es of crit­i­cism.
“This is yet anoth­er brazen cov­er-up,” Judi­cial Watch Pres­i­dent Tom Fit­ton said in a state­ment Tues­day. “The Biden Jus­tice Department’s polit­i­cal gam­bit in assert­ing Joe Biden’s pri­va­cy con­cerns in order to with­hold audio of his crim­i­nal inter­views with the spe­cial coun­sel real­ly takes the cake.”
