The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has filed an emergency motion in a Washington court seeking to accelerate the court schedule in a series of cases which seek the disclosure of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. The White House recently asserted executive privilege over the tapes.
The emergency motion, filed on May 17 at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeks to modify the court’s briefing schedule for three pending Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits that seek the audio recordings of roughly five hours of interviews that President Biden had with the special counsel in relation to a classified documents mishandling probe.
