一名联邦法官周五裁定，司法部可以交出前总统的编辑版本乔·拜登与他的代笔人马克·兹沃尼策尔的对话，给保守的传统基金会-然后签发了一个临时禁令允许潜在的上诉。
拜登参与了传统基金会提起的诉讼，该诉讼涉及信息自由法案的要求，要求获得前特别顾问罗伯特·胡尔(Robert Hur)对拜登的调查记录机密材料的处理在他担任副总统之后。
户珥，在他的调查结束时不建议收费反对拜登，尽管发现证据表明拜登“故意保留”机密材料。
美国地区法官Dabney Friedrich在周五的裁决中确定，这些信息具有高度的公共利益，并表示，在亲自审查材料后，DOJ对材料的编辑削弱了拜登关于他的隐私将被侵犯的说法。
法官写道，“这个案件中的隐私利益——虽然很大——被司法部的大量编辑所减轻，正如法院秘密审查的那样。”
法官写道，“根据现在的修订，兹沃尼策的材料不包含任何关于拜登家庭或其他私人的信息。”
在她做出决定后的一项命令中，她发布了为期三周的临时中止令，“以使哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院有一段有序的时间来考虑是否在上诉期间批准禁令。”
前总统拜登的发言人拒绝对美国广播公司新闻就裁决或暂缓发表评论。
另外，拜登上个月还起诉了司法部，试图阻止公布他为回忆录接受采访的录音和文字记录，这些录音和文字记录对Hur的调查至关重要。
录音和文字记录来自拜登为他2017年的回忆录“答应我，爸爸:充满希望、艰难和目标的一年”接受Zwonitzer的采访。
Judge says DOJ can provide Biden conversations with ghostwriter to Heritage Foundation
A federal judge ruled on Friday that the Department of Justice can hand over redacted versions of former PresidentJoe Biden's conversations with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer,to the conservative Heritage Foundation -- and then issued a temporary stay to allow a potential appeal.
Biden had intervened in a lawsuit brought by the Heritage Foundation over a Freedom of Information Act request that sought records from former special counsel Robert Hur's investigation into Biden'shandling of classified materialsafter his time as vice president.
Hur, at the end of his probe, didnot recommend chargesagainst Biden, despite finding evidence that Biden "willfully retained" classified materials.
U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, in her ruling Friday, determined that the information is of high public interest and said that after reviewing the material herself, the DOJ's redactions to the material undercut Biden's claims that his privacy would be violated.
The judge wrote that "the privacy interests in this case -- though substantial -- are mitigated by the Department's extensive redactions, as reviewed by the Court in camera."
"As now redacted, the Zwonitzer materials contain no information about Biden's family or other private persons," the judge wrote.
In an order directly following her decision, she issued a temporary stay for a period of three weeks "to permit the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit an orderly period to consider whether to grant an injunction pending appeal."
A spokesperson for former President Biden declined to comment to ABC News about either the ruling or the stay.
Separately, Biden also sued the department last month in an effort to block the release of recordings and transcripts from interviews he gave for his memoir that were central to Hur's probe .
The audio recordings and transcripts stem from interviews Biden did with Zwonitzer for his 2017 memoir "Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose."
