Trump caught on leaked audio discussing classified document he failed to declassify

  • Federal prosecutors obtained an exclusive audio recording of former President Trump describing a classified Pentagon document and Iran attack plan in 2021.
  • Trump claimed the recording was "bravado" and that he was not actually showing classified documents, despite clearly referencing secret materials given to him by the military.
  • The audio recording contradicts Trump's claims that he did not have classified documents and provides context for the 37-count indictment alleging Trump mishandled sensitive government records.
  • Legal experts argue the recording is damning evidence that proves Trump's intent and knowledge in retaining classified information, though the memo referening Iran is not specifically cited in the charges.
  • Trump continues to defend himself while his allies fear the ramifications of the leaked recording and his upcoming trial.
