evidence: WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit Monday seeking audio tapes of President Biden’s interviews with special counsel Robert Hur — after the White House refused to share them citing concern about the impact on the Nov. 5 election. [...] "President Biden’s self-serving attempt to shield the audio recording of his interview with the Special Counsel while publicly releasing a transcript of that same interview represents an astonishing effort to expand the scope of executive privilege from a constitutional privilege safeguarding certain substantive communications to an amorphous privilege that can be molded to protect things like voice inflection, tone, and pace of speech," the lawsuit says. [...] "The audio recordings, not the cold transcripts, are the best available evidence of how President Biden presented himself during the interview," the lawsuit says. "The Committee thus needs those recordings to assess the Special Counsel’s characterization of the President, which he and White House lawyers have forcefully disputed, and ultimate recommendation that President Biden should not be prosecuted."
