CNN has exclusively obtained the audio recording of the 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump discusses holding secret documents he did not declassify.
You can listen to the recording on the article.
From the text:
The recording, which first aired on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” includes new details from the conversation that is a critical piece of evidence in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump over the mishandling of classified information, including a moment when Trump seems to indicate he was holding a secret Pentagon document with plans to attack Iran.
My biggest fear is from the post I read that said that, in cases like these, the Justice Department will frequently offer the defendant a sweetheart plea deal. The information is so classified that it can’t be used as evidence for national security, and he will get little more than a slap on the wrist again.
It was provided by reporter(s) that were with Trump gathering background for Mark Meadows book. He knew they were there, who they were and presumably he was being recorded, or at least being transcribed, and felt it appropriate to share those files. Assuming they and the aides in the room are on the witness list, which apperently will be unsealed unless the Special Council appeals today's ruling.
