US President Joe Biden has blocked the release of audio recordings of his interviews from the investigation into his handling of classified files.

A letter from the justice department yesterday to Republicans in Congress said Mr Biden had asserted executive privilege, and the recordings would not be released.

Republicans had demanded the release of the president’s interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur, whose explosive report was released in February and it called Mr Biden’s age and memory into question.

The release of Mr Hur’s report came after a year-long inquiry into how Mr Biden allegedly mishandled classified documents after leaving the vice-presidency in 2017.

It said the president was unable to recall details relevant to the investigation during his interview.
