EXCLUSIVE: Trump captured on tape talking about classified document he kept after leaving the White House

[onthedarkside]

 

Federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting in which former President Donald Trump acknowledges he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran, multiple sources told CNN, undercutting his argument that he declassified everything.

 

The recording indicates Trump understood he retained classified material after leaving the White House, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation. On the recording, Trump’s comments suggest he would like to share the information but he’s aware of limitations on his ability post-presidency to declassify records, two of the sources said.

The hole he has dug himself into just gets deeper with more evidence found everyday.

C'mon Trump lovers, we're waiting. How ya gonna explain away this latest admission of espionage by the great narcissist?

[riclag]

CNN has not listened to the recording, but multiple sources described it. One source said the relevant portion on the Iran document is about two minutes long, and another source said the discussion is a small part of a much longer meeting.

Sources describe the recording as an “important” piece of evidence in a possible case against Trump, who has repeatedly asserted he could retain presidential records and “automatically” declassify documents.

More illegal leaks by the doj !

What political agenda do these “sources” have!

Just a diversion from the Biden scandals and a desperate attempt to stop him running again next year. At least the USA has advanced, they no longer kill presidents who want to change things, they just persecute them with false allegations and dig up dirt on them.

Right. The President who gave huge tax cuts to corporations really wanted to change things.

Yes, false allegations facts supported with evidence on tape from his own big mouth.

 

There was Trump on tape for the E Carroll trial, the NY fraud criminal trial, the pending Georgia indictment for election and RICO crimes and now the pending Mar-a-lago indictment for at least half a dozen crimes.

Trump's big mouth has been a doubled-edged sword having lived by it he now has fallen on it.

I want them to tell us again how Trump was the most peaceful president.

How about truth, justice and that NOBODY is above the law of the land.

 

That is of course if the report is correct, which automatically makes it a lie for Trump supporters.

We all know Trump supporters will not accept any allegations, indictments, evidence, sworn testimony, jury verdicts or court sentencing against Trump.

 

They simply will not accept Trump being held accountable for anything, no matter how heinous his crimes.

 

That’s how cults are.

In case anybody misses the point, disclosing confidential pentagon national security reports publicly to people without security clearance is prima facie evidence of espionage.

Illegal leaks from DOJ?

 

How do you know it was the DOJ?

 

Evidently, there were multiple witnesses at the meeting at Trump's Bedminister club who may have talked to DOJ.

 

Maybe the sources' agenda is not political but a belief that no-one is above the law.

I think the pertinent question is "is this recording authentic?" not shooting the messenger. Suddenly whistleblowers are not flavor of the month anymore like they were last month.

Now all we need to know is who he revealed these national secrets to and why.

This is going to be ugly.

The list will be hard to track down. Why was just to curry favour with his donors. A group of people in the same room as Trump would likely be donors.

Trump is coin operated.

It's from a recording from his chief of staff's biography. It was NOT leaked by the DoJ. Try again.
