Trump Rips Joe Biden’s Lawsuit to Block Release of Special Counsel Audio

(C) materials relating exclusively to the President’s own election to the office of the Presidency; and materials directly relating to the election of a particular individual or individuals to Federal, State, or local office, which have no relation to or direct effect upon the carrying out of constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the President.

Under the law as currently written, those definitions would appear to cover the interview recordings, and the fact that the tapes were obtained during a special counsel investigation does not automatically transform them into public records subject to immediate release.
