The Heritage Foundation and its allies are confident that they will succeed in their efforts to obtain the crucial recording of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. Despite the administration’s resistance, they believe the tape will be released one way or another, and they expect it to be a result of their lawsuit.
Heritage Oversight Project Executive Director Mike Howell expressed his confidence in a conference call, stating that even if the Biden administration senses they are going to lose the lawsuit, they may leak the tape to a friendly media outlet to ensure favorable coverage. This demonstrates their determination to uncover the truth and hold the administration accountable.

First of all, this was a court filing by the top career official at the Justice Dept—not the White House
Second, DOJ says the Special Counsel and FBI determined “the transcripts accurately reflect the words spoken on the audio” https://t.co/3N9ziMtLX7

Hur’s investigation into President Biden’s handling of classified documents, which did not result in charges against the president, caused a stir by concluding that Biden would appear as an “elderly man with a poor memory” in a court case. This revelation was based on interviews in which Biden struggled to recall important details.
The Heritage lawsuit aims to challenge the administration’s claim of executive privilege over the audio and obtain the full recording, as they argue that the written transcript does not capture the nuances of the interviews. They are committed to ensuring that the American people have access to the complete information and can judge the matter for themselves.
Despite pushback from the Biden administration, the Heritage Foundation and its allies remain resolute in their pursuit of the audio recording. The lawsuit is making progress, with expedited hearings agreed upon by the judge, and a filing due on June 21. They anticipate a prompt decision following the filing, signaling a potential breakthrough in their quest for transparency and accountability.
