DOJ suddenly located Biden biographer transcripts created by Robert Hur: watchdog

During an ongoing lawsuit aimed at forcing the Justice Department (DOJ) to produce records from Special Counsel Robert Hur's probe into Joe Biden's handling of classified documents before being elected president, the DOJ revealed the discovery of 117 pages of transcribed discussions between the president and his ghostwriter.

The find was highlighted Wednesday by the Oversight Project, a conservative government transparency watchdog that sued the DOJ.

The ghostwriter, MarkZwonitzer, was previously subject to a March subpoena from the House Judiciary Committee, which sought any and all documents, contracts and recordings of interviews and conversations with Biden.

However, Oversight Project counsel Kyle Brosnan said on Wednesday this particular revelation is both new and further animates the need for transparency in regard to questions about Biden’s competency.

Brosnan said that just prior to the Oversight Project’s last hearing on the matter, the Justice Department informed the court of the transcripts.

"There do exist written transcripts of President Biden’s interviews with his ghostwriter where they discuss classified material, and that Special Counsel Hur relied upon those written transcripts in coming to his conclusions [that Biden was a ‘well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory’]."

The memoir Zwonitzer assisted with, "Promise Me, Dad," was released in 2017.

"The discovery of those materials has been the subject of a lot of back-and-forth between us and the Justice Department about how we want to proceed," Brosnan added.

"We’re trying to figure out how that discovery impacts the case and kind of what the next steps are there."
