“Biden has not shown a likelihood of success on the merits,” Circuit Judges Sri Srinivasan and Gregory Katsas in Washington said. Biden intervened, seeking court rulings prohibiting the disclosure of the materials. One exemption sought by Biden protects law enforcement records that, if shared, would reasonably be expected to invade personal privacy. The “extensive redactions” that the Department of Justice entered on the version of the records it plans to release help protect Biden’s privacy, and the public interest outweighs any remaining personal privacy interest, they added later. The panel gave Biden until Aug. 3 to appeal to the full appeals court or the Supreme Court.
