Videos and recordings Biden tried to hide for two years see the light

Following a two-year legal battle, audio recordings of former US President Joe Biden with his memoir co-writer have been released.

Following a two-year legal battle, audio recordings of former US President Joe Biden with his memoir co-writer Mark Zwonitzer from 2016-2017 have been released. The nearly three-hour recordings reveal long pauses and difficulty recalling names, confirming the findings of special counsel Robert Hur's investigation. Hur determined that Biden exhibited significantly limited memory, a rationale that drew criticism from conservative quarters. The release comes after Biden's lawyers dropped efforts to block the materials, following Freedom of Information requests by the Oversight Project. The recordings capture conversations where Biden struggles to remember names and events, and even identifies sensitive content. The affair reignites public debate over the former president's fitness and Hur's decision not to file charges.
