A recent bombshell court filing noted that the White House admitted to editing President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur to present him as being more mentally competent via WLT Report.
It has been noted that Biden’s interview with Hur was conducted as part of the Special Counsel’s investigation into his mishandling of classified documents.
When the Hur report dropped back in February, it found that Biden did mishandle classified docs. However, Hur concluded that he was too mentally unfit to be charged for the crime. It also noted that Biden exhibited several odd speaking patterns, including making “car noises” in the interview.
The Republicans have pushed for the audio of Biden’s Special Counsel interview to be released, but Biden has cited executive privilege to prevent the audio from becoming public.
The National Review reported that President Joe Biden is claiming executive privilege to block House Republicans from obtaining the audio from his two-day interview with special counsel Robert Hur, which was part of the investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents and raised questions about the 81-year-old’s mental faculties.
White House counsel Edward Siskel wrote a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ohio.) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) on Thursday informing them of the decision to invoke executive privilege.
“Because of the President’s longstanding commitment to protecting the integrity, effectiveness, and independence of the Department of Justice and its law enforcement investigations, he has decided to assert executive privilege over the recordings,” Siskel wrote, according to a copy of the letter obtained by National Review.
“The absence of a legitimate need for the audio recordings lays bare your likely goal—to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes,” he added, echoing the Justice Department’s assertions in its two previous rejections of House Republicans’ demand for the audio.
However, that didn’t stop the White House from letting it slip that transcripts of the interview have been doctored to remove slurred words, “filler words” and repetitions.
