Appeals Court Rules Against Biden in Ghostwriter Recordings Case

  • A federal appeals court ruled that the public interest in Joe Biden's recordings with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer outweighs his privacy concerns.
  • The court's 2-1 decision allows for the possible release of the tapes, which are sought by the Heritage Foundation and House Republicans, but a stay remains in effect while Biden considers further legal options.
  • The recordings, related to Biden's memoir 'Promise Me, Dad,' are now classified as government records, increasing the public's right to access them.
