During a recent Cabinet meeting, former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden, calling him 'grossly incompetent' in light of a lawsuit Biden filed against the Department of Justice (DOJ). The lawsuit aims to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts of Biden's private conversations with his memoir's ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, from 2016 and 2017. Biden's attorney argues that the DOJ's plan to release the materials lacks a legitimate purpose and violates his right to privacy. In contrast, the DOJ maintains that releasing these recordings is essential for transparency, especially concerning Biden's cognitive abilities. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, initiated the request for these recordings, citing concerns from a report on Biden's handling of classified documents. The DOJ has stated its intention to release the materials on June 15, despite Biden's legal challenges.
