Feds raise concerns that releasing Biden audio would spark a deepfake frenzy

• The DOJ says releasing the Biden-Hur audio recordings is too risky.
• The feds are concerned that the recordings could spark a surge in Biden deepfakes.
• Republicans and conservative groups have demanded access to the audio; a transcript is already available.

The Department of Justice really doesn't want Biden to become the subject of another audio deepfake.

Republicans and conservative groups have waged a legal battle to get their hands on the audio recordings of Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur, who oversaw the DOJ's investigation into the president's handling of classified documents and ultimately decided not to pursue charges, citing Biden's age and poor memory.
