CNN Airs Recording of Trump Allegedly Showing Off ‘Highly Confidential’ Iran Documents
CNN aired a recording of former President Donald Trump allegedly showing off and talking about “highly confidential” and “secret” documents about Iran from his time in the White House on Monday.
On Anderson Cooper 360, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper announced:
We have obtained what is expected to be a central piece of the government’s case against Donald Trump, the actual audio recording of the former president talking as if he’s showing a highly classified document on US war plans against Iran with people not cleared to even know it exists, let alone what’s in it …
The recording was made two summers ago, July 2021 at the former president’s club in Bedminster, New Jersey. You will clearly hear the former president, as he is speaking to several people. According to the special council’s indictment, they include a writer working on Mark Meadows’ memoir, the publisher, and two of Trump’s staff members. The president was aware he was being recorded. It is the first time it is being played publicly.
Cooper then played the recording, which showed Trump saying, “With Milley, let me see that. I’ll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack Iran. Isn’t it amazing? I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look.”
