Watchdog Group Goes All In, Vows to Release Incriminating Audio Recording of Biden’s Conversation with His Ghostwriter
A watchdog group vowed to obtain and release incriminating audio recordings of Joe Biden’s conversation with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer.
Joe Biden asserted executive privilege over the audio recordings related to Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into his stolen classified documents scandal. Republicans have argued that Joe Biden cannot assert executive privilege over the audio since the transcript has already been released.
US Attorney General Merrick Garland classified the audio tapes of Biden’s interview with Hur as “Top Secret” and locked it way in a SCIF.
The Oversight Project vowed to obtain and release Biden’s audio recordings of his conversation with Zwonitzer.
“Our team will get the audio tape of Joe Biden’s interview to you,” the Oversight Project said.

Here is the backstory on Mark Zwonitzer:
Robert Hur in February released a 345-page report on his investigation of the stolen classified documents.
Robert Hur found that Joe Biden “willfully retained” classified information, however, he decided not to charge him. Hur said there is evidence Biden retained classified notebooks, “knowing he was not allowed to do so.”
Biden was not charged even though he willfully retained SCIF-designated classified documents and shared material with his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer.
According to Robert Hur, In 2017, Joe Biden read aloud classified passages about meetings in the Situation Room to his ghostwriter “verbatim on at least three occasions” – and Biden still wasn’t charged.
Mark Zwonitzer deleted digital audio files of recordings of his conversations with Biden after learning about Special Counsel Robert Hur’s appointment.
According to Hur’s report, Zwonitzer deleted the files before he received a subpoena.
Technicians were able to recover the deleted recordings but Zwonitzer was not charged for deleting the files.
According to the report, portions of three of Zwonitzer’s recovered audio files appeared to be missing and a fourth file appeared to have portions overwritten with a separate recording.
“Zwonitzer stated that at some point he deleted the audio files subfolder from his laptop and external hard drive. No relevant deleted files were recovered from the laptop. Deleted audio files were recovered from a subfolder on the external hard drive labeled “Audio.” Based on the available evidence from the forensic review, we assess that all deleted audio files were recovered from that subfolder. For three of the recovered files, portions of the audio appeared to be missing, and a fourth file appeared to have portions overwritten with a separate recording. These results are possible when forensic tools are used to recover deleted files. For each of these four incomplete or overwritten files, Zwonitzer produced his corresponding transcripts to investigators. These notes summarized the content of the conversations, two of which were with Mr. Biden and two of which were with Beau Biden’s doctor,” the report read.
The feds declined to charge Zwonitzer.
The House Judiciary Committee earlier this year voted to hold Mark Zwonitzer in contempt of Congress.
Earlier this year Rep. Elise Stefanik revealed there is an audio recording of Biden telling Mark Zwonitzer that he “just found all the classified stuff downstairs.”
