Biden’s Cover-Up: What’s He Hiding from Special Counsel?

President Joe Biden’s recent decision to block the release of audio recordings from his interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur during the investigation of his handling of classified documents has raised eyebrows, especially given his administration’s promise of transparency. This move comes after months of White House officials boasting about Biden’s lack of assertion of executive privilege during Hur’s probe, suggesting an openness to scrutiny.

Ian Sams from the White House had previously emphasized that Biden had “nothing to hide” regarding the investigation. However, the decision to assert executive privilege now invites questions about what exactly Biden may be seeking to conceal, contradicting earlier assertions of full transparency.

The White House Counsel’s office attempted to justify the decision by citing Biden’s commitment to protecting the integrity and independence of the Department of Justice and its investigations. They argued against the release of the audio recordings, claiming there was no legitimate need for them and expressing concerns about potential partisan political use.

The motivation behind Biden’s reluctance to release the audio becomes clearer when considering Hur’s account of Biden’s interviews, which highlighted instances of memory lapses and confusion during crucial moments, such as forgetting key dates and events from his time as vice president and appearing hazy on significant matters like the Afghanistan debate.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer criticized Biden’s decision, emphasizing that the recordings are crucial for the committee’s investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. Despite the White House’s invocation of executive privilege, Comer reiterated the committee’s intent to proceed with its investigation and potential actions against Attorney General Garland for defying a lawful subpoena.

Trump Campaign spokesman Steven Cheung condemned Biden’s use of executive privilege, accusing the administration of politicizing this constitutional principle. Cheung argued that Biden’s actions are an attempt to shield himself from scrutiny while denying the same privilege to political opponents, highlighting concerns about the administration’s transparency and accountability.
