The recordings in question were obtained by special counsel Robert Hur, who was appointed to investigate whether Biden had unlawfully retained classified documents at his home after serving as vice president under Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017, according to a report by RT.
Hur interviewed Biden for five hours back in 2023. He didn’t recommend filing charges against the former ruler, but described him as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” accoridng to a Fox News report.
Hur wrote that Biden’s memory appeared “significantly limited” during both the 2017 interviews with the ghostwriter and later interviews with the special counsel.

According to a report by Axios, the records include 70 hours of audio recordings and transcripts of conversations between Biden and ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer, recorded while Zwonitzer was working on Biden’s 2017 memoir.
