The Justice Department revealed late Monday in a court filing that it does in fact have transcripts of President Biden's interviews with a biographer after initially having denied possessing the documents.
While juggling Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests related to former special counsel Robert Hur's investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents following his departure as vice president in the Obama administration, DOJ attorneys said it would be time-consuming to process audio files into transcripts related to the president's conversations with biographer Mark Zwonitzer.
"We don’t have some transcript that’s been created by the special counsel that we can attest to its accuracy," DOJ lawyer Cameron Silverberg told U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich last month.
That changed Monday evening, when Silverberg told Friedrich in a new court filing that Hur’s office did in fact have transcripts of Biden's conversations with Zwonitzer.
