Despite the release of the interview transcript, the audio recordings remain withheld by the Department of Justice (DOJ), which cited concerns over the potential for alterations through artificial intelligence. several organizations, including CNN and Judicial Watch, have attempted to obtain the recordings via Freedom of Facts Act requests but have been unsuccessful.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Anna Paulina Luna continues to call for release of Robert Hur tapes<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2085050\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/anna-paulina-luna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Anna Paulina Luna<\/a> (R-FL) hasn&rsquo;t given up on the release of former special counsel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3046911\/anna-paulina-luna-predicts-release-of-hur-tapes-will-keep-biden-from-nomination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Robert Hur's interview\">Robert Hur&rsquo;s interview<\/a> with former President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&rsquo;s competence was questioned by&nbsp;Hur, who<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2845770\/hur-report-biden-as-elderly-man-poor-memory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> referred to him<\/a> as &ldquo;an elderly man with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-debate-performance-renews-spotlight-on-hur-tapes-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Biden debate performance renews spotlight on ... - Washington Examiner\">poor memory&#038;rdquo<\/a>; during an interview in 2023.
