Appeals Court Denies Biden Bid to Block Release of Tapes with Biographer, for Now A federal appeals court has denied President Joe Biden's request to block the release of redacted transcripts and audio recordings from his conversations with biographer Mark Zwonitzer in 2016 and 2017.
The decision, made by a 2 1 margin, is a setback for Biden's efforts to keep these discussions secret.
At its core, this dispute involves a broader issue: the blurred lines between public duty and private interest in Washington.
