Audio recordings of former President Joe Biden's conversations with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, have been released after legal proceedings. Biden had sought to keep these recordings private for several years.
The recordings, totaling roughly 70 hours, were made in 2017 while Biden was working on his memoir, "Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose." They became a focal point in a special counsel's investigation regarding Biden's handling of classified documents. The special counsel's report indicated that Biden had kept notes containing classified information at his home.
The recordings were released after a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling against Biden's attempts to prevent their disclosure. The Oversight Project, a conservative nonprofit, pursued the release through a Freedom of Information Act request. The recordings include Biden referencing potentially classified information and exhibiting moments of memory lapses during discussions with Zwonitzer.
The release of these recordings may impact public perception of Biden's cognitive abilities and handling of classified information, especially as he campaigns for re-election.

“I did not share classified information. I did not share it with my ghostwriter.”
“Joe Biden kept classified information. Joe Biden failed to properly secure classified information and Joe Biden shared classified information with people he wasn’t supposed to.”
