The American news network “CNN” said that it had obtained an audio recording of former US President Donald Trump about keeping a secret document about a possible attack on Iran.
The network said that the audio recording is of a meeting held by Trump in 2021, during which he acknowledged that he kept a confidential document of the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) about a possible attack on Iran.
The recording, which was broadcast by CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360”, includes new details from the conversation that are a crucial piece of evidence in the indictment against Trump for his mishandling of classified information, including the moment when Trump appears Refers to a classified document on a possible plan to attack Iran.
“Here are the papers,” Trump said in the recording as he discussed plans for the attack. In the two-minute audio, Trump and his aides also joked about Hillary Clinton’s emails after the former president said the document was “classified information,” as someone told Trump “Hillary would have printed that,” Trump replied, “No, she would have sent it to Anthony Weiner,” referring to the former Democratic congressman, which sparked laughter.
Clinton was investigated by the FBI over her handling of classified information in the days leading up to the 2016 election, which she lost to Trump.
Earlier this month, the former US president said he was not guilty of alleged mishandling of classified documents.
The audio recording was from an interview Trump gave in July 2021 at his Bedminster retreat of people working on the memoirs of former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. The indictment said those present were shown classified information about the plan to attack Iran.
On the other hand, Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Cheung said in a statement, “The audio recording proves, once again, that President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong.”
