Appeals Court Denies Biden Bid to Block Release of Memoir Interview Tapes

A federal appeals court denied former President Joe Biden's bid to block the release of dozens of hours of audio recordings from interviews he gave to his memoir ghostwriter. The tapes, held by the Justice Department, were central to the classified-documents investigation that dogged Biden's presidency. The ruling clears the way for the public airing of recordings Biden fought to keep sealed, reviving scrutiny of his handling of sensitive materials.
