Newly released audio tapes, disclosed by a conservative activist group, appear to show Joe Biden sharing classified information with a biographer and sometimes claiming memory lapses during interviews that occurred before his election to the presidency in 2020. The potentially classified information itself is redacted in both the audio and transcripts that the Oversight Project released. The right-wing group first sued to obtain the tapes after Special Counsel Robert Hur decided in 2024 not to charge Biden for how he handled classified information. At the Oversight Project, Vice President of Litigation Jeff Clark insisted the tapes prove Biden's decline. “The tapes have always belonged to the American People, the Oversight Project just delivered them to their rightful owner,” Clark said in a statement.
