Biden sues DOJ to block release of audio recordings tied to special counsel probe

Former President Joe Biden filed suit against the Justice Department on Tuesday in an effort to block the release of recordings and transcripts from interviews he gave to a ghostwriter for his memoir that were central to a special counsel probe regarding his handling of classified materials after his time as vice president. 

The lawsuit follows an intervention by Biden in a separate lawsuit brought by the conservative Heritage Foundation over a FOIA request that sought records from the investigation by former special counsel Robert Hur.
