Biden’s Classified Tapes Resurface | Annapolis News

New audio recordings from Joe Biden’s 2016-2017 memoir sessions with his ghostwriter have ignited a firestorm, revealing him discussing classified documents he kept at home — even as he transitioned from VP to president. The tapes, released amid a legal battle, show Biden cautioning his ghostwriter about sensitive material, contradicting his 2022 criticism of Trump’s document mishandling. His team calls the leak political retaliation, while special counsel Robert Hur’s report, which cited Biden’s “diminished faculties,” ultimately avoided charges, portraying him as a well-meaning but forgetful elder. Democrats, including Kamala Harris, fiercely rejected Hur’s characterization. Now, as Biden’s cognitive abilities remain a campaign flashpoint, these pre-presidential recordings are reigniting debates over memory, secrecy, and justice — all while the nation watches.
