Prosecutors Obtain Recording of Trump Discussing Holding Classified Document After Leaving Office

  • Justice Department prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of former President Donald Trump talking about holding onto a classified Pentagon document related to a potential attack on Iran.
  • Trump suggested on the recording that he wanted to share information from the document with others but knew there were limitations about his ability to declassify records after he left office.
  • The recording could be a key aid for prosecutors looking to prove Trump knew his ability to possess classified documents was limited.
  • The investigation shows signs of being in its final stages, with prosecutors having interviewed a broad cross-section of witnesses before the grand jury.
  • Smith, the special counsel, is also investigating efforts by Trump and his allies to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.
