The New York Times: White House releases Biden's testimony in the case of improperly stored secret documents

According to the publication, the audio recordings of the interrogation may be published next week

The administration of US President Donald Trump intends to release audio recordings of conversations between former US leader Joe Biden and special counsel Robert Mueller in the case of improperly storing classified documents, writes The New York Times.

According to the publication, the audio recordings of the interrogation, during which it was established that "Trump's predecessor as head of state has memory problems", may be released next week. The previous administration refused to release the recordings, claiming that the disclosure of such information would hinder similar investigations in the future.

In February 2024 Hoer decided not to indict Biden, despite evidence that he knowingly withheld classified documents. In the report, the special counsel noted that during his testimony, Biden demonstrated memory problems and was unable to recall important dates from his biography.

In January 2023, it became known that a number of classified documents were found in the building of a Washington think tank associated with Biden. They date back to his time as Vice President of the United States (2009-2017). Similar materials were later found in Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware.
