根据一份新的法庭文件,总统乔·拜登的律师计划反对司法部公布拜登2017年与图书代笔人互动的删减版文字记录和音频。

“拜登总统通过法律顾问告知司法部,他打算申请介入诉讼以阻止任何此类披露,”助理司法部长、民事部门负责人布雷特·舒梅特在一份涉及传统基金会迈克·豪厄尔提出的《信息自由法》请求的文件中写道。“司法部不反对介入。”

拜登的律师需在周二前就司法部针对豪厄尔的《信息自由法》请求的公布决定作出回应,若无异议,相关内容将于周二后不久公开。

舒梅特指出,如果拜登在截止日期前提出反对,70小时删减版录音的公布将推迟至6月15日。

“被告计划根据众议院司法委员会主席的要求,将本案涉及的删减版文字记录和音频披露给国会,同时也会提供给原告,”豪厄尔就该《信息自由法》诉讼向司法部提交的文件中写道。

这些互动发生在拜登与他2017年出版的图书《答应我,爸爸:一年的希望、艰辛与目标》的代笔人之间。音频和文字记录是特别检察官罗伯特·赫尔调查拜登处理机密文件事件时获取的,当时拜登将文件存放在车库和宾大拜登中心。

“拜登总统与特别检察官赫尔全力合作,同意提供与他为已故儿子所写传记的传记作者的谈话录音,但前提是这些录音不会公开,”拜登发言人TJ·达克罗周日在给政治新闻网的声明中表示。“司法部自己也表示,这些磁带不符合公共利益。”

“现在发生的事情与透明度无关,这是政治操弄,”达克罗继续说道。“如果本届政府真的致力于透明度,他们应该公布特别检察官杰克·史密斯关于唐纳德·特朗普所谓不当处理机密文件报告的第二卷。这份报告包含美国民众理应知晓的信息。”

福克斯新闻已联系达克罗寻求独立证实,但尚未收到回复。

提出《信息自由法》请求的一方仍在争取获取相关文件。

“这些磁带将进一步证明关于拜登任职资格的弥天大谎,以及拜登确实泄露了机密信息,”传统基金会监督项目主席豪厄尔告诉政治新闻网。“把戏还没结束:在最后一刻,在用尽所有拖延策略之后,拜登方面试图阻止美国民众获得透明度。”

赫尔结束了对拜登处理机密文件事件的调查,指出司法部长期以来不起诉在任总统的政策,并表示陪审团会同情这位82岁的美国在任最年长总统,因为他是“一位本意良好、记忆力不佳的老人”。

“经过数月的漫长谈判——拜登方面从未寻求及时介入本案——拜登总统改变了立场,现在甚至试图禁止公布与赫尔报告中引用原话完全一致的部分记录,”舒梅特周五的文件中写道。

“前总统拜登可能介入诉讼,以及为回应2026年3月23日的信函而酌情向众议院司法委员会披露的新情况,引发了一系列问题:”

“据原告了解,拜登总统需要一道禁令阻止本案中的文件披露,同时还需要一道禁令禁止司法部在2026年6月15日前向众议院司法委员会提交所有相关材料。”

司法部还指控拜登的律师拖延回应、拒不遵守截止日期。

拜登白宫助手面临监督截止日期,面临传票威胁

“拜登总统的首席法律顾问无法提供任何关于拜登总统提交的相关文件的信息,辩称相关讨论有些过早(而实际上这已经晚了16个月),并且令人难以置信地表示,尽管原定2026年6月15日提交文件,但介入动议要到下周中期才能提交,而且如果法院批准介入动议,拜登将在裁决后最多用三天时间提交实质性救济的拟议时间表,”文件中写道。

“这种诉讼方式毫无章法,明显是在踢皮球,试图通过某种行政禁令拖延2026年6月15日的文件提交。”

“公众有权听取这些磁带、阅读由唐纳德·J·特朗普总统时期的司法部删减后的记录,”舒梅特的文件结尾写道。“原告遗憾的是,由于拜登总统的法律顾问多次未能与原告就此事进行沟通,甚至将最初的实质性讨论推迟到下周,他们目前无法协助法院推进这一程序。”

Biden seeks to block DOJ release of 2017 audio, court filing says

Heritage Foundation FOIA request could produce transcripts and audio from Biden’s 2017 book sessions by Tuesday

By Eric Mack Fox News

President Joe Biden’s lawyers are expected to object to the Justice Department’s release of redacted written transcripts and audio recordings of Biden’s 2017 interactions with his book ghostwriter, according to a new court filing.

“President Biden, through counsel, has advised the Department that he intends to seek to intervene to prevent any such disclosures,” Assistant Attorney General Civil Division Brett Shumate wrote in a filing from a Freedom of Information Act request from the Heritage Foundation’s Mike Howell. “The Department does not oppose intervention.”

There is a Tuesday deadline for Biden’s lawyers to respond to the DOJ’s release for a response to Howell’s FOIA request, which would come shortly after Tuesday if there was no objection.

Shumate noted the release of 70 hours of redacted recordings would be delayed until June 15 if Biden objects before the deadline.

“Defendant intends to disclose the written transcript and audio recordings at issue in this matter, with redactions, to Congress, pursuant to a request from the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, as well as to Plaintiffs,” the filing in Howell’s FOIA lawsuit with the DOJ read.

The interactions came between Biden and his ghostwriter for the 2017 book: “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose.” The audio and transcript were obtained by special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents after the Obama administration ended, which included storing them in his garage and at the Penn Biden Center.

“President Biden cooperated fully with special counsel Hur, and agreed to provide audiotapes of conversations with his biographer for a book about his deceased son on the condition that they would not be made public,” Biden spokesperson TJ Ducklo told Politico in a statement Sunday. “The DOJ themselves have said these tapes serve no public interest.

“What’s happening now isn’t about transparency. It’s about politics,” Ducklo continued. “If this Administration were genuinely committed to transparency, they would release Volume 2 of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s own alleged mishandling of classified documents. That report contains information Americans actually deserve to see.”

Fox News reached out to Ducklo for independent confirmation on this report and has not yet heard back.

The FOIA requester remains in pursuit of the documents.

“These tapes will further prove the massive lie regarding Biden’s fitness for office and the fact Biden revealed classified information,” Howell, president of Heritage’s Oversight Project, told Politico. “The shenanigans aren’t over: At the last possible second, and after every delay tactic possible, the autopen is objecting to the American People receiving transparency. “

Hur concluded his investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents, noting longstanding DOJ policy of not indicting a sitting president and saying a jury would be sympathetic to the oldest sitting American president, 82, because he was a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

“It appears that after lengthy negotiation covering several months — at no point seeking to intervene into this case on a timely basis — President Biden has changed position and now seeks to even enjoin release of the portions of transcripts that match exact phrases quoted in the Hur Report,” Shumate’s filing Friday read.

“The potential intervention by former President Biden and the new development of a discretionary release to the House Judiciary Committee in response to their March 23, 2026 letter, raises a number of issues”:

“As Plaintiffs understand the matter, President Biden would need an order barring release in this case and an order enjoining the Department from producing to the House Judiciary Committee all by June 15, 2026.”

The DOJ also accuses Biden’s lawyers of slow-walking responses and rejecting deadlines.

“President Biden’s lead counsel was unable to provide any information about President Biden’s submissions arguing that such discussion was somehow premature (whereas, in reality it is 16 months late) and incredibly indicating that despite the June 15, 2026 production date, the motion to intervene would not be filed until mid-next week and that President Biden would seek up to three days after a ruling granting a motion to intervene to submit a proposed schedule for substantive relief,” the filing read.

“That is no way to conduct litigation and smacks of kicking the can down the road to justify delaying the June 15, 2026 production by some form of administrative injunction.”

“The public deserves to hear the tapes and read the transcripts as redacted by President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Justice,” Shumate’s filing concluded. “Plaintiffs regret that they are currently unable to assist the Court in this process due to the repeated failure of counsel for President Biden to engage with Plaintiffs on this matter, putting off even initial substantive conversations until next week.”
