US Judge Dismisses Joe Biden’s Lawsuit to Keep His Memoir Audio Recordings Private
A U.S. federal judge on April 4 dismissed former President Joe Biden’s lawsuit to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts of interviews for his memoir, ruling that the public interest in disclosure outweighs his privacy concerns. Judge Dabney Friedrich, appointed by President Trump, sided with the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, in granting access to materials collected during a 2023 investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents. Biden, 82, is expected to appeal the decision, which he argued could harm his reputation.
