The former president, Joe Biden, is taking legal action against the federal government in an attempt to prevent the release of audio recordings and transcripts from his memoirs' ghostwriter. This was recorded during an investigation of how Biden dealt with his classified papers. Although no charges have been pressed against Biden for any criminal activity, the investigative report suggested that Biden "had significant memory limitations." The current Justice Department intends to release this tape before June 15, arguing that it demonstrates a deterioration in the mental state of Biden.
