DOJ refuses to hand over audio of Biden interview citing fear GOP plans to exploit it

Raw Story  

The Justice Department has turned down the House Republicans' demand for the audio of special counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Joe Biden. But, according to the letter the Justice Department sent to the House Republicans Monday, officials believe the committee wants the recording for "political purposes" rather than "legitimate oversight." "For example, after the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference, the Department produced only summaries of only certain witness interviews, many in redacted form, and many only for review in camera," the letter says. "Moreover, at the conclusion of the 2008 investigation by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald into the disclosure of the identity of Central Intelligence Agency officer Valerie Plame Wilson, the Department declined to produce to Congress summaries of the President's and the Vice President's interviews with the Special Counsel's Office, citing concerns for potential chilling effects such disclosure would create for future administration officials to submit to voluntary interviews in future law enforcement investigations."
