Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is advocating for the release of audio recordings from Robert Hur&#8217;s interview with former president Joe Biden, which has not been disclosed despite requests from Congress. Hur, who served as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sidney-powell-is-an-american-legal-giant\/\" title=\"Sidney Powell Is an American Legal Giant\">special counsel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">reportedly raised concerns<\/a> about Biden&#8217;s competency and noted that there was insufficient evidence to pursue charges over classified document management because proving intent would be challenging. Luna criticized the refusal to release the tapes, connecting it to issues of openness and accountability, and emphasized her belief in the importance of congress holding hearings on the matter.She previously forced a vote on holding former Attorney general merrick Garland in contempt for not complying with a subpoena regarding the tapes. The Justice Department has denied multiple Freedom of Information Act requests for the audio, citing fears of potential manipulation.  <\/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.
