这场围绕前总统乔·拜登与回忆录代笔人访谈录音公布事宜、长达数月的法律纠纷于周一落下帷幕。这些录音是特别检察官罗伯特·赫尔在机密文件调查期间获取的。
拜登的律师团队上周提交了动议，要求撤销此前为阻止录音及文字稿公布而提起的诉讼。他们此前一直竭力将这些材料保密，同时指出拜登如今已是普通公民，不再寻求公职。
美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院的奥巴马政府任命法官坦尼娅·查特坎批准了这一自愿撤诉申请。
拜登阻止赫尔采访录音公开的努力遭遇新的法院重击
美国司法部获取了拜登2016年和2017年与《向我承诺，爸爸》回忆录代笔人马克·兹翁齐策的谈话录音。与此同时，赫尔的调查团队在针对拜登处理机密信息的调查中编制了相关文字稿。
随着周五的动议获得批准，美国司法部如今可将录音及文字稿提交给众议院司法委员会。
赫尔曾调查拜登在奥巴马政府担任副总统及特拉华州联邦参议员期间处理机密文件的情况。他最终决定不起诉拜登，理由是检方无法排除合理怀疑证明拜登故意留存或泄露相关材料。
他在关于不予起诉的令人震惊的陈述中还称，在陪审团看来，拜登更像是“一个富有同情心、本意良好但记忆力不佳的老年人”，而非故意违反机密文件法的行为人。

原告迈克·豪厄尔此前供职于保守派智库传统基金会，目前任职于监督项目。他通过《信息自由法》申请获取相关材料，已奋战两年多，辩称公众有权查阅赫尔作出不起诉决定所依据的录音及文字稿。
“我们期待着审阅这些被乔·拜登及其政府隐瞒了太久的录音。它们应该能展现拜登早在2016/2017年就出现的心智衰退情况。然而他所在的政党还是推他参选总统。”监督项目负责诉讼的副总裁杰夫·克拉克在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中说道。
此前，拜登的律师团队上周提交紧急动议阻止录音公布后，法院曾作出有利于传统基金会的裁决。
美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院由三名法官组成的合议庭在裁决中写道：“我们认为，披露目前已做删减处理的材料对个人隐私造成的任何剩余侵犯，都远不及公众对披露这些材料的知情权。”
特朗普任命的法官推迟公布赫尔调查材料，拜登暂获法庭胜利
赫尔的报告多次提及拜登与兹翁齐策的录音对话，并将部分交流描述为“ painfully slow（极为拖沓）”。
他称拜登有时难以回忆起事件、传递信息，这进一步加剧了外界对拜登认知能力的质疑，而当时拜登仍在参与总统连任竞选。

美国司法部于2月改变了此前立场，称打算向原告及众议院司法委员会披露经删减处理的录音及文字稿。
拜登的律师团队未回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。

Biden’s Hur interview tapes could now go public after his attorneys wave white flag

The Justice Department can now release tapes of Biden’s conversations with memoir ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer

Fox News senior political analyst Juan Williams discusses why former President Joe Biden is suing the Justice Department to block the release of audio recordings on ‘Special Report.’

The months-long legal battle over the release of former President Joe Biden’s recordings from interviews with his memoir ghostwriter — obtained during special counsel Robert Hur’s classified documents investigation — came to an end on Monday.
Biden’s attorneys filed a motion last week to drop their case blocking the release of the audio recordings and transcripts after fighting to keep the material under wraps, noting that Biden is now a private citizen and is not seeking public office.
Obama-appointed Judge Tanya Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia accepted the voluntary dismissal.

The Justice Department obtained recordings of Biden’s 2016 and 2017 conversations with Mark Zwonitzer, his ghostwriter for the memoir “Promise Me, Dad.” Hur’s team, meanwhile, prepared transcripts during its investigation into Biden’s handling of classified information.
Now, the Department of Justice can release the audio recordings and transcripts to the House Judiciary Committee after the Friday motion was accepted.
Hur investigated Biden’s handling of classified documents dating from his time as vice president in the Obama administration and as a U.S. senator from Delaware. He declined to pursue criminal charges because he concluded prosecutors could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Biden willfully retained or disclosed the material.
He also said, in shocking reasoning for the lack of prosecution, that Biden could appear to a jury as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” rather than an intentional violator of classified document laws.

The plaintiff, Mike Howell formerly with conservative think tank Heritage Foundation and now at Oversight Project, has fought for more than two years to obtain the materials through FOIA requests, arguing that the public has an interest in reviewing the recordings and transcripts on which Hur based his decision.
“We are looking forward to reviewing these tapes that Joe Biden and his administration were allowed to hide for too long. They should show his mental decline as far back as 2016/2017. Yet his Party ran him as President,” said Oversight Project’s Vice President for Litigation Jeff Clark in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
A previous ruling favored Heritage after Biden’s attorneys filed an emergency request last week to block the release of the tapes.
“We conclude that any remaining incursion on personal privacy from disclosure of the now-redacted materials likely does not outweigh the public interest in disclosure,” a divided three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit wrote in its ruling.

Hur’s report repeatedly referenced Biden’s recorded conversations with Zwonitzer and described some exchanges as “painfully slow.”
He said Biden, at times, struggled to recall events and relay information, which further fueled scrutiny of Biden’s cognitive abilities during a time when he was still running for re-election for president.

The Justice Department reversed its earlier position in February and said it intended to disclose redacted versions of the recordings and transcripts to the plaintiffs and the House Judiciary Committee.
Biden’s attorneys did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
