Biden wants to keep special counsel interview audio private
President Biden wants to keep the audio of his special counsel interview private. Earlier this year, special counsel Robert Hur said no criminal charges against Joe Biden were warranted in the classified documents case. But in his written report, he characterized the president as an “elderly man with a poor memory.” Now, the White House wants to keep audio of that interview from getting in the hands of Congress.
