Biden Appeals Personally To Keep Zwonitzer Tapes From Public
A three-judge panel bought itself ten more days, barring the Justice Department from handing the recordings to Heritage Foundation until July 20.
- Joseph R. Biden Jr. is the named appellant, personally fighting the release order.
- DOJ stays barred from releasing the Zwonitzer materials until 11:59 p.m. July 20.
- Judges Srinivasan, Katsas and Pan call the pause procedural, not a merits ruling.
Why it matters: A former president who once ran the Justice Department now asks it to hide his own recorded words.
