White House counsel's office spokesman Ian Sams did not give a definitive answer when asked last week about releasing the full transcripts of Biden's interview with Hur, saying «its a reasonable question» while noting «there were classified stuff and we have to work through all that.»

When asked if Biden would support the release, Sams said, «We’ll take a look at that and make a determination.»

According to his report, Hur considered charging Biden's ghostwriter who deleted audio files of interviews with Biden after the special counsel was appointed but ultimately decided against it. The FBI was able to recover the deleted files from the ghostwriter's computer, according to the report.
