Mark Zwonitzer

Mark Zwonitzer is the author of former President Joe Biden's memoir, "Promise Me, Dad." The recordings of Zwonitzer's interviews with Biden for this memoir have become central to a recent legal battle. Biden's administration sought to prevent the release of these audio recordings, arguing that their disclosure would violate his privacy rights. The recordings were reportedly used by Special Counsel Robert Hur in his investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents. Hur's report highlighted "memory lapses" from these interviews, which Biden's team claimed were taken out of context. A U.S. judge recently denied Biden's petition to withhold the recordings, allowing for their potential release. This legal action underscores the ongoing scrutiny of Biden's public image and cognitive fitness, particularly in the context of his re-election campaign.
