President Biden's decision to block release of audio recordings from Special Counsel investigation
President Biden invoked executive privilege to block the release of audio recordings from Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigation into him, despite initially insisting that Hur had mischaracterized the interviews. The White House may have chosen to face criticism rather than release potentially damaging audio for use in 2024 election ads.
