White House Admits Altering Biden-Hur 5-Hour Transcript, DOJ Classifies Audio as 'Top Secret'
Jun 2, 2024, 11:15 AM
The White House has admitted to altering the transcript of President Joe Biden's 5-hour interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur regarding classified documents. The unedited transcript and audio recordings have not been released, sparking controversy and calls for transparency. Attorney General Merrick Garland has classified the audio tapes of Biden's interview as 'TOP SECRET' and stored them in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF). The Department of Justice (DOJ) is using executive privilege and other arguments to block the release of these recordings. Critics argue that the White House's actions constitute a cover-up and demand the immediate release of the unedited materials. Special Counsel Hur noted that Biden 'willfully' kept classified information from his time as Vice President but did not charge him due to his 'poor memory.'
