DOJ Blocks Conservative Groups, Media From Obtaining Biden-Hur Tapes

From Independent Journal Review:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is blocking several groups from obtaining audio recordings from President Joe Biden’s interview with former special counsel Robert Hur, according to the Washington Examiner.

The DOJ rejected Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests from several entities attempting to gain access to the Biden-Hur tapes, prompting them to file a lawsuit Thursday, the Washington Examiner reported. The lawsuit was joined by Judicial Watch, Heritage Foundation and a CNN-led media coalition that includes The Associated Press, CBS, Reuters and other companies.

The Daily Caller News Foundation also filed a FOIA request to obtain the audio tapes on Feb. 13, but the DOJ said the request remains pending.
