adminFormer President Joe Biden took the extraordinary step on May 26, 2026 of suing the Department of Justice to try to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts tied to a special-counsel probe. The suit seeks to prevent the DOJ from handing over material it obtained during interviews connected to the investigation into classified documents, a move that will only heighten suspicions about what the American people are being kept from seeing.
The files at the center of the fight are recordings of Biden’s conversations with a ghostwriter from 2016 and 2017 — material the special counsel reportedly relied on during the probe. The DOJ had signaled its intent to provide redacted transcripts and audio to Congress and to the Heritage Foundation, with a planned disclosure window in mid-June unless a court intervened.
Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz, speaking on Greta Van Susteren’s program, insisted that sooner or later the truth will be known and the recordings will be heard, a sentiment many Americans share as they watch this legal charade. That perspective should resonate with patriots who believe facts, not secrecy, ought to settle questions about public officials.
Make no mistake: the timing and posture of this lawsuit reek of double standards. The same federal machinery that once executed a highly publicized search at Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 is now being pressed into service to hide material from public view, and ordinary citizens are left wondering why different rules apply to different people.
The Justice Department’s lawyers have raised concerns about privacy and even warned that releasing audio could invite manipulation and deepfakes — an argument that, while technically plausible, should not become a catchall excuse to shut down transparency during an election season. If deepfake threats are real, the answer is better verification and context, not blanket secrecy that shields powerful figures from scrutiny.
Conservative Americans must demand a fair, full airing in court and in public forums, because accountability is the backbone of a free republic. Let the recordings be weighed on their merits — if they vindicate Biden, so be it — but if they expose failures, voters deserve to know before they mark a ballot. The fight now is simple: transparency or cover-up, and patriots should not hesitate to choose the side of light.
