Is this what we're complaining about, now? They're redacting information, as they are legally obligated and allowed to do, and three Republicans whined about it, so it deserves a headline?
Fucking Christ, we get it. You (NYT) love Trump's tiny penis. It's not even March, and we can already see the Conservative Billionaires' naked ambitions on full display.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The White House’s review of whether to release a transcript of a special counsel’s interview of President Biden that set off a political furor is being complicated by the sensitive material it covers, including classified information, security measures and discussions that could be subject to executive privilege, people familiar with the matter said.
And three Republican chairmen of House oversight committees have sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland demanding that he turn over both the transcript and audio recording.
But while the White House has indicated that it is looking at releasing the material to support its assertions that Mr. Hur’s characterization of Mr. Biden’s memory as having “significant limitations” was inaccurate and driven by partisanship, it has made no commitment to do so and has offered no timetable.
In a letter appended to the report, Mr. Biden’s government and personal lawyers — who were present for the interview — sharply disputed Mr. Hur’s portrayal of the president’s memory as unusually faulty, calling it both gratuitous and inaccurate.
While Mr. Biden, advised by his lawyers, declined to assert the privilege to block the release of anything Mr. Hur chose to include in his report, the five-hour interview was much wider ranging than the selections the special counsel cited.
A major focus of the report was a memo Mr. Biden had sent to President Barack Obama opposing the latter’s decision in 2009 to send a surge of additional troops into the Afghanistan war zone, for example.
