President Joe Biden has asserted executive privilege over an audio recording of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur, the Republican federal prosecutor who declined to recommend charges against the president over his handling of classified documents.

White House counsel Ed Siskel notified Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan of the decision in a letter on Thursday.

The decision came after Attorney General Merrick Garland recommended that Biden assert executive privilege. The Department of Justice had already given House Republicans transcripts of the interviews.
