Former President Joe Biden is suing to block the House Judiciary Committee from obtaining, and potentially releasing, audio recordings and transcripts of conversations in 2016 and 2017 with the ghostwriter of his memoir.

Former President Joe Biden is trying to block the Department of Justice from releasing audio used in the special counsel probe that revealed his memory lapses.

The audio recordings of his conversations with the ghostwriter of his 2017 memoir were part of a special counsel probe into his alleged mishandling of classified documents.

In the lawsuit, Biden argued the recordings contain deeply personal discussions that should remain private.
