Trump Calls Joe Biden 'Crooked Politician' After He Sues DOJ Over Tapes

Source: Newsweek

President Donald Trump called Joe Biden “crooked” after the former president sued to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts of an interview obtained during the special counsel investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents.

In the lawsuit, filed in Washington’s federal court on Tuesday, Biden’s lawyers said the Justice Department plans to release the files from his interview with a ghostwriter to Congress and conservative group the Heritage Foundation. The department had previously argued that the files were exempt from disclosure under the public records law.

Trump shared a link to an article about the lawsuit on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, adding: "A Crooked Politician!!!”

The president’s comment reflects his support for broad disclosures in cases involving Democrats, even as he has taken legal action to prevent the release of certain records connected to himself. Earlier this year, a federal judge granted Trump’s request to block the release of a special counsel report on an investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents.

...but that is not how these stories are framed, of course. Trump wouldn't be attacking President Biden or, for that matter, comedians if Trump were not insecure.

Personal things you know that you wouldn't put into a book. A family member thinking of divorce. A neighbor who is gay. Things might tie in tangentially to decisions made. But their names would not make it to the book. The recording on the other hand...
