President Donald Trump responded to Joe Biden’s lawsuit against the Justice Department by calling Biden a crooked politician on Truth Social. Biden sued after the Justice Department announced it would release recordings and transcripts from Biden’s interviews with a ghostwriter for his memoir, with a planned release date of June 15. The materials stem from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s 2023 investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents, following a Freedom of Information Act request by the Heritage Foundation. The Biden administration opposed the FOIA request, while Trump’s Justice Department previously stated it would comply, giving Biden’s legal team a deadline to act. Biden sought a permanent bar on release, citing cooperation with Hur under conditions that the audiotapes not be made public. The DOJ said the tapes serve no public interest.
"The DOJ themselves have said these tapes serve no public interest. Trump responded to the move on Tuesday evening, reposting an article about the suit with his own added commentary. A Crooked Politician!!! the president wrote. Hur's investigation did not culminate in criminal charges, though he did conclude that Biden read classified information to his ghostwriter."
