Newly released audio recordings appear to show former US President Joe Biden discussing classified information with his memoir ghostwriter and at times struggling to recall details during interviews conducted before his 2020 election.
Around three hours of audio and 117 pages of partially redacted transcripts were released by the Oversight Project, a conservative group affiliated with the Heritage Foundation, after Biden lost a lengthy legal battle to keep his conversations with ghostwriter Mark Lewis Zwonitzer private.
“They didn't even know I had this,” Biden told Zwonitzer in October 2016, near the end of his second term as Barack Obama's vice president, as he talked about sensitive foreign policy matters handled by the administration.
