Despite previously denying their existence, the Department of Justice has admitted to the discovery of transcripts documenting conversations between Joe Biden and his biographer.
This acknowledgment was made to a federal judge on Monday evening in response to efforts by various organizations to obtain information through the Freedom of Information Act.
This comes almost six months after former special counsel Robert Hur concluded his investigation into the president’s acquisition and mishandling of classified information.
It also comes just one day after Biden withdrew from the presidential race. The timing is sure to attract attention.
NEW: Justice Department discovers transcripts it previously said it did not have of Biden's chats with biographer discussed in Hur report. Also, DOJ relents and asks Hur for help in responding to flurry of #FOIA suits for his records

The Justice Department told a federal judge late Monday that it has located transcripts it previously denied having of President Joe Biden’s talks with a biographer that played a role in the recently completed criminal investigation into Biden’s handling of classified material before he became president.
In the wake of a report special counsel Robert Hur issued in February that described Biden as “a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” the Justice Department has been swamped with Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits demanding access to various records related to Hur’s probe.
The significance of these transcripts cannot be overstated, as they contain direct allegations of criminal behavior by Biden, including the sharing of classified information with his biographer.
If these transcripts had been disclosed earlier, it could have significantly raised the stakes for Hur’s investigation and subsequent report, as well as deepened the scandal for a White House already in crisis due to Biden’s other issues, such as his mental and physical condition.
It strains credibility to believe that the Department of Justice was unaware of these transcripts until it was most politically convenient to acknowledge them.
With Biden no longer in the race, there is no longer a need to shield him from AG Merrick Garland and his compromised department.
Additionally, this development allows presumptive Democratic Party nominee Kamala Harris to claim that the administration is “transparent” despite the obvious timing issues.
The same applies to the sudden resignation of Secret Service head Kimberly Cheatle on Tuesday.
There’s another factor to consider here. Is this possibly a strategy to pressure Biden into resigning as president, paving the way for Harris to gain an advantage as the incumbent? I wouldn’t underestimate the DOJ and the administration in their current state. Given their track record of dishonesty and corruption, anything is possible.
It appears that this could be a deliberate move with multiple benefits, and it’s unlikely that many people will believe it’s purely coincidental.

Is there anything about this administration that isn’t corrupt?
Nope.
It is past time to start executing these lying Democrat scumbags. Of course, we all know by now that Democrats are above the law and have nothing to fear from our corrupt Department of Justice.
AND this “discovery” is just a CYA move by the DOJ in an attempt to protect themselves and their crooked dealings.
will the extent of the Biden Administrations violations of the u.s. constitution ever be known??? hope so. this is the biggest travesty of justice in the world.
Harris has not only continued her support and praise of Biden, she has abetted and aided him in every instance.
Correction: They have notified the Court they altered evidence previously reported as non existent!
This should be all over the MSM!!!!!
WOW, just looked under the mat on my desktop and look what I found-DOJ Attorney Garland? Imagine that. Will wonders never cease. NOW LETS SEE WHAT AND IF THEY DO ANYTHING WITH THEM!
I’ll bet that Hur has at least one original transcript or recording of his Bidung interview(s) stashed away somewhere as a life insurance policy.
