Audio recordings appear to show Biden discussing classified information with his ghostwriter

After Special Counsel Robert Hur’s 2023 investigation and the subsequent report into former President Joe Biden’s retention of classified documents, Democrats rushed to defend the 46th president from his characterization that Biden was an "elderly man with a poor memory."

The Department of Justice on Monday was cleared to release audio recordings of former President Joe Biden's conversations with a ghostwriter after two legal obstacles were removed.

The recordings, released by the Oversight Project, include conversations between Biden and biographer Mark Lewis Zwonitzer.

The heavily redacted transcripts and recordings were made in 2016 and 2017, while Biden was working with a ghostwriter on his 2017 memoir, Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose.
