Former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is insisting the latest leaked audio in which he’s discussing classified documents, is a non-story; “another hoax,” Trump says.
From Fox News:
In an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier last week, the former president said “there was no document” and that he was just discussing news clippings.
But an audio recording obtained by CNN appears to show Trump discussing classified materials during a July 2021 meeting at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The former president is heard saying, “These are the papers,” while he’s apparently discussing top-secret U.S. military attack plans on Iran. Trump said on the tape that the plan came from Pentagon officials.
On the recording, Trump is also heard saying “it’s so cool” and that the information was classified and “highly confidential.” The conversation is believed to be a key piece of evidence in the special counsel’s indictment against the former president.
Asked by Fox Digital how the audio recording squares with what he told Baier last week, Trump answered, “I said it very clearly – I had a whole desk full of lots of papers, mostly newspaper articles, copies of magazines, copies of different plans, copies of stories, having to do with many, many subjects, and what was said was absolutely fine. … We did nothing wrong. This is a whole hoax.”
