A divided three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has issued a ruling against President Biden’s bid to suppress audio recordings. The recordings were made by the ghostwriter of his memoir.

The court has opted to suspend its decision until 3 August. This delay is intended to provide the President with additional time to determine whether to pursue a further appeal in the matter. Euronews reported on the development on 21 July 2026.
