Judicial Watch obtains emails of Biden WH's proposed revisions to transcript of Robert Hur interview
A Justice Department official has confirmed to the legal group that most White House revisions to the transcript were accepted.
The conservative legal group Judicial Watch on Thursday said it has received 52 pages of documents that show proposed revisions to former President Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, regarding his handling of classified documents.
The documents, which were turned over by the Justice Department, come after the legal group sued the Biden administration through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The group requested records of the communication between the DOJ and the White House regarding altered transcripts.
The documents are related to Biden's interview with Hur at the White House in 2023.
Judicial Watch claimed the new records show the previous administration's attempts to potentially hide Biden's mental confusion by suggesting edits to the transcript, such as trying to hide the former president's apparent inability to recall the name of former Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
“These new documents provide an extraordinary insight into a cover-up of the White House of Biden’s cognitive challenges.,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “The Bondi Justice Department should follow up with the full release of the actual audio of President Biden’s disastrous interview with the special counsel on his document theft and mishandling.”
