Biden Dementia COVER-UP
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT RECORDS DETAIL BIDEN PRESSURE ON SPECIAL COUNSEL
HUR
[[link removed]]
We received 49 pages
[[link removed]]
of
records from the Department of Justice detailing pressure by the Biden
White House and Joe Biden’s personal lawyers on Special Counsel
Robert Hur regarding the October 2023 interviews
[[link removed]]
of then-President Biden in the criminal investigation into his theft,
retention, and disclosure of classified records.
These records show how desperate the Biden gang was to hide the full
truth about Biden’s failing memory and criminality.
We filed a July 2024 FOIA lawsuit
[[link removed]]
against the Department of Justice for all communications about the Hur
report with the Office of the White House Counsel and Biden’s
personal lawyers (_Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:24-cv-02179)).
We have several ongoing FOIA lawsuits about Biden’s document
scandals and the related unprecedented partisan prosecutorial and
judicial abuses of former President Donald J. Trump.
In April 2025, we uncovered Justice Department records
[[link removed]]
showing
White House staffers suggesting edits to transcripts of President
Biden’s interview with Hur.
In February 2025, a federal court ordered
[[link removed]]
the
Department of Justice to declare whether it intends to continue
denying our request for the full audio of the Hur interview. The Trump
Justice Department has until May 20, 2025, to report its position on
the release of the videotape.
In June 2024, the Biden administration was forced to admit
[[link removed]]
that
the transcripts of audio recordings of Biden’s interviews had been
altered and are not accurate.
The new records include an October 18, 2023, letter
[[link removed]],
just a few days after Hur’s interviews of Biden, from the Special
Counsel to the President Richard Sauber and Biden’s personal
attorney Bob Bauer to Hur, in which they express concerns about the
release of the report:
> At our meeting last Friday, we requested that you provide an
> overview of where matters stand in this case, particularly any
> remaining questions or concerns we should address. We also asked for
> the opportunity to discuss your expected report to the Attorney
> General at the conclusion of the investigation, including time to
> review it prior to its submission to the Attorney General. You
> advised us that you were not prepared to engage with these requests
> at that time but would take them under consideration.
>
> ***
>
> Moreover, to the extent that your report touches in any way upon
> procedures in this or prior administrations for the handling of
> sensitive national security information, your report will also be
> read with intense interest in every foreign capital. It could affect
> the national security interests of the United States in ways that
> none of us can anticipate.
An October 31, 2023, email
[[link removed]]
from Sauber to the Special Counsel’s Office documents the repeated
efforts by the Biden legal team to review the report before its
release. The letter states:
> In our October 18 letter to you, we asked to have the opportunity to
> review and comment on a draft of the “confidential” report that
> you are required to write under the Special Counsel regulations. We
> also noted that we would follow up on the subject of the Special
> Counsel’s “final report” requirement more broadly.
>
> ***
>
> At a minimum, the report should adhere to the kind of product
> contemplated by the Special Counsel regulations. As discussed, in
> contrast to the detailed independent counsel reports setting forth a
> “full and complete” description of their work, the Special
> Counsel regulations contemplate only that the Special Counsel will
> “explain[] the prosecution or declination decisions.” … We
> support your faithful fulfillment of this requirement. But,
> consistent with the Department’s description of a “limited”
> and “summary” product, … , the report should be economical. It
> should include the factual information necessary to the charging
> decision, but facts or events that are not essential to the decision
> have no place….
In a December 15, 2023, letter
[[link removed]]
Sauber and Bauer reiterate the request and also ask for access to the
classification review of the materials found and the return of the
records of a personal nature to Biden.
In a January 3, 2024, letter
[[link removed]]
Sauber and Bauer again reiterate the request for a pre-release review
and express concern that the final report provide an “appropriate
public presentation” of the facts of the case.
Non-disclosure agreements signed by the president’s lawyers are
included in the records.
On January 5, 2024, “RKHSC,” (Robert K. Hur, special counsel)
sends an email
[[link removed]]
to Bauer and others discussing “nondisclosure agreement and
certification.” The non-disclosure agreement and certification
state:
> NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
> * This agreement applies to the review by members of the White
> House Counsel’s Office and personal counsel of the report of the
> Special Counsel’s Office.
> * Review will be limited to the following people: Ed Siskel (White
> House Counsel), Richard Sauber (Special Counsel to the President),
> Rachel Cotton (Senior Counsel to the President), Robert Bauer
> (personal counsel), and Jennifer Miller (personal counsel). This
> agreement refers to this group collectively as “counsel.”
> CERTIFICATION
> By this certification, I affirm to the Department of Justice that I
> have and will continue to adhere to the terms of the attached
> non-disclosure agreement …
>
> I understand that Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, makes
> it a felony to knowingly and willfully make a materially false
> statement in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive
> branch of the Government of the United States.
On January 9, Bauer emails his and Jennifer Miller’s
[[link removed]]
non-disclosure
agreements and certifications to Hur and others.
In a February 5, 2024, letter
[[link removed]]
to Hur, Sauber and Bauer outline their complaints about the draft
report. The first concern they raise is the report’s
characterization of Biden’s failing memory:
> We do not believe that the report’s treatment of President
> Biden’s memory is accurate or appropriate. The report uses highly
> prejudicial language to describe a commonplace occurrence among
> witnesses: a lack of recall of years-old events. Such comments have
> no place in a Department of Justice report, particularly one that in
> the first paragraph announces that no criminal charges are
> “warranted” and that “the evidence does not establish Mr.
> Biden’s guilt.” If the evidence does not establish guilt, then
> discussing the jury impact of President Biden’s hypothetical
> testimony at a trial that will never occur is entirely superfluous.
In the February 5, 2024, “Report of the Special Counsel on the
Investigation Into Unauthorized Removal, Retention, and Disclosure of
Classified Documents Discovered at Locations Including the Penn Biden
Center and the Delaware Private Residence of President Joseph R.
Biden, Jr.” Hur called Biden a “well-meaning, elderly man with a
poor memory” and declined to charge
[[link removed]]
Biden with a “serious felony:”
> We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely
> present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as
> a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. Based
> on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is
> someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt.
> It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict
> him-by then a former president well into his eighties-of a serious
> felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.
Prior to the finalization of the report, the White House issued a
letter
[[link removed]]
to the Special Counsel’s office attacking the report’s
“treatment of President Biden’s memory,” and added “there is
ample evidence from your interview that the President did well in
answering your questions …”
We expect the Hur tapes will finally be released to Judicial Watch at
any time now, so come back here for more details.
FIVE MILLION NAMES CLEANED FROM VOTER ROLLS THANKS TO JUDICIAL WATCH
Judicial Watch is the leader in restoring integrity to our election
system. In _Investigative Bulletin_, Micah Morrison, our chief
investigative reporter, provides an overview
[[link removed]]
of our historic work.
> Judicial Watch made history last month when new developments in
> landmark legal actions led to the inactivation, processing, or
> removal of more than five million ineligible names from voter rolls
> nationwide. “Judicial Watch’s clean-up of over five million
> dirty names from voter rolls is a historic achievement for clean
> elections,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “I have no
> doubt that Judicial Watch’s election integrity heavy lifting
> helped stop the steal in 2024. But there are millions of more names
> to be removed from voter rolls.”
>
> Clean elections matter. Dirty voter rolls—the presence of voters
> who have been disqualified from voting due to death or a change of
> address—create opportunities for fraud, opening the door to
> illegal votes swinging close elections. A key weapon in the battle
> for clean elections is the National Voter Registration Act. The NVRA
> directs the states to make “a reasonable effort” to remove from
> voting rolls “the names of ineligible voters” who have been
> disqualified from voting due to death or change of residence.
>
> Judicial Watch has been deploying the NVRA for years in courts
> across the land, pressuring state governments to clean up their
> voter rolls. Recent developments in cases in Kentucky and New York
> put Judicial Watch past the five million milestone.
>
> In Kentucky, state election board officials reported
>
[[link removed]]
> that “roughly 735,000 ineligible voter registrations” have been
> removed from voter rolls, as part of a 2018 consent decree settling
> a Judicial Watch lawsuit. “Since the consent decree was
> entered,” election officials notes, “a lot has changed. The
> State Board of Elections has worked overtime to comply with the
> consent decree and to clean up Kentucky’s voter rolls.”

> A lot has changed in New York City too. As part of 2022

settlement
>
[[link removed]]
with

> removed 440,000 ineligible names. New data
>
[[link removed]]
> for March 2023 to February 2025 show the removal of another 477,000
> names—a total of more than 900,000 names.

> across America. In Los Angeles, county officials confirmed the
> removal of more than 1.2 million names from voter rolls as part of a
> settlement of a 2017 Judicial Watch lawsuit

[[link removed]]
> The sweeping order notes two key areas where Judicial Watch has long

>
> One is voter roll clean-up under the National Voter Registration
> Act. “Maintaining accurate voter registration lists” through the
> NVRA and other federal laws “is a fundamental requirement in
> protecting voters from having their ballots voided or diluted by
> fraudulent votes,” the presidential order notes. It directs “the
> Attorney General [to] take appropriate action with respect to states
> that fail to comply with the list maintenance requirements” of the
> NVRA.
>
> The presidential order notes a second area where Judicial Watch has
> long been active: fighting to ensure that Election Day remains just
> that—a single day. “Federal law establishes a uniform Election
> Day across the Nation for Federal elections,” the order says. But
> “numerous States fail to comply with those laws by counting
> ballots received after Election Day. This is like allowing persons
> who arrive three days after Election Day, perhaps after a winner has
> been declared, to vote in person at a former voting precinct, which
> would be absurd.”
>
> Judicial Watch has mounted numerous legal challenges to states
> seeking to stretch Election Day into Election Week or Election
> Month.
>
> In Mississippi, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

> ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state
> officials.”
>
> In an Illinois case, Judicial Watch has asked the U.S. Supreme Court
>
[[link removed]]
> to review lower court rulings that allow the state to count mail-in
> ballots as late as fourteen days after election day.
>
> And in California, Judicial Watch filed a federal lawsuit to prevent

> “Despite Congress’ unambiguous and longstanding statement

CORRUPTION AT BORDER AGENCY STILL A PROBLEM A DECADE AFTER EXPOSE
An agency we created to protect our borders is still hamstrung by
corruption, as our _Corruption Chronicles_ blog reports
[[link removed]].

DC GOVERNMENT MAKES LGBTQIA+ QUEER TRAINING MANDATORY
Your nation’s capital has taken a headfirst dive down the rabbit
hole of leftist mania, as our _Corruption Chronicles_ blog explains
[[link removed]].
> In the latest move to advance leftist policies in local government
> adjacent to the nation’s capital, the District of Columbia is
> forcing every department manager—and highly encouraging all
> employees—to undergo a special training on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
> Transgender, Queer (or Questioning), Intersex, Asexual, and more
> (LGBTQIA+). The course is titled “LGBTQIA+ Cultural Humility: A
> Space for Queer Life Training,” according to a memorandum

[[link removed]]
> distributed to “all District Government Personnel” by Charles
> Hall Jr., the director of the DC Department of Human Resources.
> “We’re excited to introduce a vital new training initiative from
> the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Affairs, designed to foster a more
> inclusive and understanding workplace,” the memo, which was
> obtained by Judicial Watch this week, states. “This training is
> MANDAORY for all managers and highly encouraged for all DC Employees
> to complete by July 30th. 2025.” It is worth noting that the
> directive specifically excludes the 13-member DC Council, which is
> comprised of representatives from each of the eight wards and four

> The training promises to go beyond surface-level awareness by
