"Special Counsel Transcript Reveals Discrepancies in Biden's Portrayal"

"Nuanced Portrait: The Complicated Transcript of Biden-Hur Special Counsel Interview"

A full transcript of President Biden's special counsel interview reveals a nuanced portrait of the exchanges between Biden and special counsel Robert Hur, with Biden frequently joking and digressing but also providing detailed explanations about his son's death and his handling of classified documents. The transcript shows Biden's interactions with prosecutors as more chummy than antagonistic, and provides insight into his memory lapses and detailed discussions about his home and personal experiences. The interview led the special counsel to conclude that Biden would not be prosecuted for mishandling classified documents due to his "poor memory," a characterization that drew anger from Biden and his advisers.

House Republicans have requested the release of the transcript and recordings, while the Justice Department is expected to review the request. Biden's team is weighing whether to release the entire transcript or specific moments to counter concerns about his age and mental fitness.

"House GOP Pressures DOJ for Biden Special Counsel Tapes Amid Memory Concerns"

House Republicans demand that Attorney General Merrick Garland share tapes and documents from President Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur's investigators, as well as information about records related to his family's foreign business dealings. The Republicans believe this information could bolster their investigations into Biden's role in his family's business dealings in China and Ukraine, and potentially damage Biden's reputation. The request includes seeking all documents and communications related to the special counsel's interview, as well as records related to Biden's book ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer.
