D.C. Circuit Freezes Release Of Biden Ghostwriter's Tapes
The unsigned per curiam order gives the Justice Department ten more days to resist handing over Mark Zwonitzer's recorded interviews with Biden.
- Case No. 26-5235: the injunction runs from July 10 to July 20, 2026.
- Zwonitzer taped Biden for a memoir; those recordings are the disputed FOIA records.
- Heritage Foundation sued DOJ under FOIA to force public release of the tapes.
Why it matters: An unsigned order that changes no fact still decides one thing: who controls when the public learns it.
