JUST IN: DOJ Suddenly ‘Finds’ DAMNING Biden Special Counsel Transcripts

A lawsuit against the Justice Department by a conservative law group has led to the discovery of transcripts between President Joe Biden and his ghostwriter, offering a new window into how the president regarded the classified documents in his possession that were the subject of a thorough investigation by special counsel Robert Hur.

The suit, according to Fox News, was brought by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, a transparency organization suing the DOJ to produce transcripts of Hur’s discussions with Biden where he infamously referred to the 81-year-old as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has rebuffed requests for the unedited video or audio productions of the interviews, claiming opponents of President Biden only intended to use them for political purposes. Oversight Project counsel Kyle Brosnan said Wednesday that the DOJ recently informed the court about the existence of 117 pages of notes taken by ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer as he prepared to produce an autobiography about the Democratic incumbent.

“There do exist written transcripts of President Biden’s interviews with his ghostwriter where they discuss classified material, and Special Counsel Hur relied upon those written transcripts in coming to his conclusions [that Biden was a ‘well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory’],” Brosnan wrote in a filing referencing notes taken by Zwonitzer during his production of the 2017 book “Promise Me, Dad.” The conservative watchdog added, “The discovery of those materials has been the subject of a lot of back-and-forth between us and the Justice Department about how we want to proceed. We’re trying to figure out how that discovery impacts the case and kind of what the next steps are there.”

The revelation contradicts the DOJ’s assertion back in June that no written record existed documenting discussions between Biden and Zwonitzer. Howell “questioned this representation,” the DOJ admitted, ironically pointing to the attorney’s own citation of a footnote in the DOJ’s filing that appeared to reference a Biden-Zwonitzer transcript. The DOJ took it from there, questioning investigators who couldn’t recall the transcript and ultimately reaching out to Hur, who told them one existed. Now the DOJ and Oversight Project will begin the discussions as to how and how much evidence can be turned over for public scrutiny. “There’s over 70 hours of tapes between Biden and Zwonitzer. So, that’s obviously a lot of material that’s going to take the Justice Department a long time to process,” Brosnan said.

On X, the Oversight Project noted that the state attorney general whose precedent was cited by Garland in asserting executive privilege over the Biden-Hur tapes was incorrect in his reasoning.

The investigation stemmed from a 2022 discovery of classified documents found in the garage of President Biden’s Delaware home and came shortly after the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in search of equally top-secret documents in former President Donald Trump’s possession. Trump for months has called the incident an example of hypocrisy by a two-tiered Biden Justice Department. Last month U.S. Florida District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the Trump case citing problems with the unlawful appointment of special counsel Jack Smith.
