White House invokes executive privilege to block release of Biden interview recording on classified documents.

The White House has invoked executive privilege to block the release of a recording of special counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Joe Biden, related to investigations into Biden's handling of classified documents. The White House argues that Republicans in Congress want the recordings for political purposes. The dispute is at the center of a Republican effort to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress, and to hinder Biden's reelection campaign.
