Delaware court blocks release of Biden’s Senate papers

The university says Biden donated the documents on the condition they not be released until they have been “properly processed and archived.”

The Center Square) — Delaware’s highest court has blocked a request by conservative groups seeking to access President Joe Biden’s Senate papers at a state university

The July 6 ruling by the Delaware Supreme Court upheld a lower court decision that sided with the University of Delaware in denying a request from Judicial Watch and another group seeking access to the records, which Biden gifted to the public university in 2012.

Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation submitted a formal public records request to the university in 2020 to review the documents. But the university rejected the request, arguing that Biden’s Senate papers aren’t considered public records because they don’t involve the expenditure of state money by the university.

A state Superior Court judge sided with the university, rejecting the records request, but the groups appealed to the Supreme Court, which agreed to take up the case.

In the request for an appeal, lawyers for the groups said the files are of “paramount interest for citizens and the free press” but have been “kept under lock and key by the university.
