Here are five things to know after Joe Biden sued the DOJ: Special Counsel Robert Hur had obtained the recordings in question as part of his probe into Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents from his time as vice president and senator, per Forbes. The recordings, made in Biden’s home, were part of the writing process for his 2017 memoir, ‘Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose’. It detailed Biden’s decision to pursue the presidency while his son Beau was suffering from brain cancer. The lawsuit demands that the DOJ not disclose “President Biden’s private information” to the House Judiciary Committee and the conservative Heritage Foundation, which had filed a FOIA request for that same information. According to the filing, every American, a former Vice President, has a right to privacy “in the personal conversations he has within his own home.” In the past, the Justice Department withheld the release of these clips and transcripts. They argued that these were exempt from disclosure. However, the Trump DOJ now plans to release them on June 15.
