Special Counsel Robert Hur released a nearly 400-page report detailing how classified materials from Joe Biden's tenure as Vice President and Senator were found at his Delaware home and former office. The report has sparked controversy and calls for transparency, with various political figures and media outlets urging the Biden White House to release transcripts and recordings that could clarify the situation. The House Judiciary Committee, led by Jim Jordan, has requested the ghostwriter of President Biden's memoir, Zwonitzer, to submit recordings and notes from conversations with the President, following allegations that Biden shared classified information with the ghostwriter on at least three occasions, who then deleted audio recordings of their discussions. The White House and President Biden's top attorneys, including Ed Siskel, have responded by exchanging a series of letters with top Justice Department officials, criticizing Hur's report for allegedly violating Department policy and practice, and comparing its criticism of Biden to inappropriate prosecutorial conduct in recent history, including "denigrating statements" on Biden's memory.
