evidence: The House Judiciary Committee sued Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday in their latest attempt to obtain the audio recordings of former special counsel Robert Hur’s interviews with President Joe Biden and his ghostwriter. [...] The tapes are foundational to Hur’s conclusions not to charge Biden with criminal mishandling of classified records, including Hur’s damning assessment that Biden would be sympathetic to a jury because he is a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." [...] Republicans first subpoenaed the materials in February shortly after Hur released his final report, arguing that the recordings were vital to their impeachment inquiry in the president. The Justice Department has fought against the release, claiming that making the audio of Biden in a closed-door interviews public would be a violation of his privacy and could hurt their ability to record future witness interviews, because the intonation of a speaking voice itself is so unique.
