The Department of Justice (DOJ) has classified audio tapes of President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Hur at the highest level, locking them in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF). Attorney General Merrick Garland has cited executive privilege and concerns over potential misuse of AI-generated deepfakes as reasons for not releasing the tapes. Legal scholars, including Jonathan Turley, have criticized the DOJ's arguments as 'legally absurd.' The tapes reportedly contain an incoherent interview with Biden over two days. The DOJ is also fighting an access lawsuit related to these tapes.
