The Justice Department claims releasing President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur would boost the danger of AI deepfakes.
The Justice Department cannot release audio from President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur due to the threat of potential deepfakes, the DOJ argued in a Friday court filing. The filing came as part of a legal challenge against Biden's efforts to exercise executive privilege over the recording to keep it from the public.
Biden met with Hur for about five hours last year, when he was grilled about his handling of the classified documents. Hur's report, released earlier this year, declared Biden to be a forgetful, but well-meaning elderly man. The report highlighted several instances where Biden could not recall key details about his life, including when he served as vice president and the year of his son Beau Biden's death.
President Biden is apparently afraid for the citizens of this country and everyone to hear those tapes,' House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said after Biden exerted privilege over the recording. 'They obviously confirm what the special counsel has found, and would likely cause, I suppose, in his estimation, such alarm with the American people that the president is using all of his power to suppress their release.
