Exclusive: CNN obtains the tape of Trump’s 2021 conversation about classified documents (Another DOJ leak)
CNN Politics ^ | 6/26/2023 | Jeremy Herb

Posted on 06/26/2023 6:53:10 PM PDT by Beave Meister

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.

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.

“These are the papers,” Trump says in the audio recording, while he’s discussing the Pentagon attack plans, a quote that was not included in the indictment.

In the two-minute audio recording, Trump and his aides also joke about Hillary Clinton’s emails after the former president says that the document was “secret information.”

“Hillary would print that out all the time, you know. Her private emails,” Trump’s staffer said.

“No, she’d send it to Anthony Weiner,” Trump responded, referring to the former Democratic congressman, prompting laughter in the room.

DOJ and CNN think this is a smoking gun. What a joke. It's another diversion tactic, of which we will see many, many more...

Garland is an unethical, privileged, dishonest, ideologue. People like him should never be in positions of power. The DOJ is egregiously compromised, and the amateur hour that is CNN is just pure propaganda.

I heard it and honestly am seeing ZERO issue here..if he had something, IF is the big question, he didnt show it to anyone proving he did nothing wrong. Meanwhile Hunter Biden texts about sitting with his father demanding money be transferred TONIGHT

I thought the kangaroo court ordered strict silence in this case, shouldnt the prosecutor be jailed for this?

If the president took them, they are declassified under the presidential records act. For him to say, after the fact, I couldn’t declassify them now has no bearing on whether they were declassified when he took them from the White House.

Trump:“Hey, bring some, uh, bring some Cokes in please.”

Waiter: “No Coke, just Pepsi.”

We shouldn’t lose focus on how ridiculous this is. No one would or should indict a former president for holding up a document. This is true third world stuff.

Seems to me PDJT was showing a contingency plan to attack Iran that Trump discarded as impractical and not remotely anything Trump would contemplate doing. Plan rejected, no longer secret.

Yeah its possible he didnt remember if he declassified them or not..its automatically declassified regardless..4 yrs in office he had access to THOUSANDS of documents, how would he know this particular one he never declassified so its bogus regardless

I wouldn’t pee on McConnell if he were on fire, but not letting Garland on SCOTUS was a great move.

Can’t imagine what this hack would have been like on that court. But, the way they’re starting to go after Alito and Thomas, it looks like they’re trying to make a place for him.

Hunter’s Laptop had emails to his benefactors that had what everyone believes are Intel Assessments.

Which is why they had to deflect and release this tape. Tell me, what kind of prosecutor leaks their case if they have a strong case..none..only weak cases they leak..Smith got his ass handed to him today by Judge Cannon so this is his “Revenge”

They want it both ways. They want to force Trump to take possession of the classified documents, then they want to prosecute him for possessing the documents they forced him to take possession of.

.
How is it that Christopher Wray just 30 days ago, repeatedly ignored a subpoena and never did comply - and that’s not a crime worthy of raids, or charges?

Hannity brings on that Bush Idiot - and says you can’t have these documents outside a SCIF - and there are pictures of Biden doing it with the guy next to him using his cell phone.
