福克斯新闻法律分析师格雷格·贾勒特在《汉尼提》节目中,就拜登此前试图阻止披露机密信息录音以及前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米的起诉一事发表了看法。
前总统唐纳德·特朗普在周二晚间抨击了前总统乔·拜登,拜登此前起诉司法部,阻止公布与特别检察官调查其处理机密文件相关的录音和文字记录。
“一个腐败政客!!!”特朗普在Truth Social平台转发Just the News关于拜登起诉司法部的文章时写道。
拜登周二起诉司法部,试图阻止公布特别检察官罗伯特·赫尔在其机密文件调查中获取的、拜登与代笔人马克·兹沃尼策尔采访的录音和文字记录。
拜登的律师在诉讼中称,司法部计划在此前辩称这些文件根据联邦公共记录法可免于披露后,将其提交给国会和保守派智库传统基金会。

根据诉讼文件,拜登的律师辩称,披露这些内容“会构成对拜登总统隐私的不当侵犯”。
“每个美国人,包括现任或前任副总统,都有权在自己家中进行私人对话时享有隐私,”拜登的律师在诉讼中写道。“当美国司法部通过刑事调查获取这些私人信息时,司法部负有保护其不被披露的特殊责任。”

此案涉及的是2016年和2017年拜登在其家中与曾为其撰写两本回忆录的兹沃尼策尔的采访录音和文字记录。

赫尔的调查持续了一年,最终发布了一份345页的报告,对拜登的年龄和心智能力提出质疑,但建议不对这位当时81岁的老人提起刑事指控。赫尔表示,他没有找到足够证据在法庭上成功起诉。

拜登还在另一起案件中反对公布他与赫尔的采访音频。2024年,众议院投票裁定时任司法部长梅里克·加兰藐视国会,因其在白宫援引行政特权后拒绝提交该音频。
拜登与联邦检察官的采访文字记录已于去年公布。尽管拜登坚称自己认真对待机密信息,但记录显示他有时对日期和细节含糊其辞,并表示自己不熟悉所处理的部分敏感文件的追踪记录。

共和党人辩称,拜登得到了自己所在司法部的偏袒,而特朗普则遭到了检察官的不公平迫害。与此同时,民主党人强调拜登与调查人员的合作,并将其与针对特朗普的刑事案件进行对比——特朗普被指控拒绝归还国家档案馆要求的、存放在其佛罗里达州庄园的机密文件。

Trump lashes out at Biden over suing DOJ to hide interview audio files
May 27, 2026 7:23am EDT / Fox News
Biden’s lawyers filed suit in Washington federal court to prevent audio and transcripts from reaching Congress
By Bradford Betz Fox News
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett discusses former President Joe Biden’s reported efforts to prevent the release of classified information tapes and former FBI Director James Comey’s indictment on ‘Hannity.’
President Donald Trump lashed out at former President Joe Biden late Tuesday after his predecessor sued the Justice Department to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts tied to the special counsel investigation into his handling of classified documents.
“A Crooked Politician!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social while sharing a Just the News article about Biden’s lawsuit against the DOJ.
Biden sued the Justice Department on Tuesday in an effort to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts of the former president’s interview with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer that were obtained by special counsel Robert Hur during his classified documents investigation.
Biden’s lawyers said in the lawsuit that the Justice Department plans to release the files to Congress and the conservative Heritage Foundation after previously arguing that they were exempt from disclosure under federal public records law.

According to the filing, Biden’s attorneys argued that disclosure would “constitute an unwarranted invasion of President Biden’s privacy.”
“Every American, including a sitting or former Vice President, has a right to privacy in the personal conversations he has within his own home,” Biden’s attorneys wrote in the lawsuit. “And when the U.S. Department of Justice obtains that private information through a criminal investigation, the Department bears a particular responsibility to protect it from disclosure.”

At issue in the case are audio recordings and transcripts of Biden’s interviews at his home in 2016 and 2017 with Zwonitzer, who worked with Biden on his two memoirs.

The files were scrutinized by Hur as part of his investigation into Biden’s improper retention of classified documents from his time as a senator and vice president.
Hur’s yearlong investigation resulted in a 345-page report that questioned Biden’s age and mental competence but recommended no criminal charges against the then-81-year-old. Hur said he found insufficient evidence to successfully prosecute a case in court.

Biden has separately fought the release of audio from his interview with Hur. The House in 2024 voted to hold then-Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over that audio after the White House asserted executive privilege.
Transcripts of Biden’s interviews with federal prosecutors were released last year. While Biden insisted he treated classified information seriously, the transcripts showed he was at times fuzzy about dates and details and said he was unfamiliar with the paper trail for some of the sensitive documents he handled.

Republicans have argued Biden was being given a pass by his own Justice Department and that Trump had been unfairly victimized by prosecutors. Democrats, meanwhile, emphasized Biden’s cooperation with investigators and contrasted it with the criminal case against Trump, who was accused of refusing to return classified documents requested by the National Archives that were stored at his Florida estate.
