The Biden administration is standing by President Biden’s use of executive privilege to withhold his interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur from Congress.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended this decision, stating that it was made at the request of the attorney general.
Jean-Pierre emphasized that the transcripts of the interview are already available and that the attorney general stressed the need to protect law enforcement files.
Despite reports of Biden experiencing mental lapses during the interview, Hur chose not to prosecute him due to insufficient evidence.
The decision to withhold the interview recordings was made to ensure the protection of law enforcement files, according to Jean-Pierre.
