Donald Trump erupted on Truth Social after Joe Biden filed a lawsuit asking the Justice Department to block release of audio recordings and transcripts tied to a Special Counsel probe — his blunt reaction reignited partisan debate. Read on to discover the full story!

Trump's Viral Blast

On May 26 Trump shared an article about the lawsuit and attacked his longtime rival online, writing "A Crooked Politician!!!" as he reacted to news that Biden is seeking to keep the files from public view.

Biden's Legal Play

The suit, filed May 26, asks a court to prevent the DOJ from turning the audio and transcripts over to Congress and the Heritage Foundation. The Justice Department had earlier argued the materials were exempt from disclosure under public records law. Biden's lawyers say the tapes capture private, in-home conversations and warned releasing them would be an "unwarranted invasion" of privacy, stating: "Every American, including a sitting or former Vice President, has a right to privacy in the personal conversations he has within his own home."
