House Judiciary Subpoenas Biden's Ghostwriter in Classified Records Probe
The subpoena targets documents and communications related to Biden's memoirs amid investigation into classified information handling.
- Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed President Biden’s ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, demanding documents and communications related to his work on Biden’s memoirs.
- The subpoena follows revelations that Biden may have shared classified information with Zwonitzer while working on his memoirs, based on special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation.
- Zwonitzer initially agreed to provide the requested materials but later refused, leading to the issuance of a subpoena by committee Chair Jim Jordan.
- Special counsel Hur’s report indicated that Biden read passages from his notebook that referenced classified information to Zwonitzer, who then deleted the recordings, later recovered by Hur’s team.
- Despite the controversy, neither Biden nor Zwonitzer have been charged, with Hur’s investigation noting Biden’s memory issues and Zwonitzer’s recovery of deleted recordings.
