Last week it was reported that the Trump administration is planning to release the audio of former President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated Biden's handling of classified documents.
While the transcript of the conversation was released, Republicans have pushed for the audio to be heard as they assert it will give credence to allegations of Biden's mental decline.
When asked by Newsmax host Greta Van Susteren on Wednesday if the public will hear the tapes, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said: "Yeah, I think that [they] will. I hope sometime soon.
"Never forget what happened here, though. Why we had the Hur investigation. Joe Biden kept material he wasn't allowed to keep. And then he shared it with people he wasn't allowed to share it with."
"And he did it for a book advance. He had 8 million reasons to break the law. And we pointed this all out in the hearing," Jordan told "The Record With Greta Van Susteren."
Jordan, who is chair of the House Judiciary Committee, said the public did not agree with Hur's rationale for not prosecuting Biden because he's a "sympathetic, well-meaning old man."
"We think the American people should get that information, particularly now when everyone's now saying what we all saw a few years ago actually took place," Jordan added.
