A recording of former President Donald Trump discussing General Mark Milley’s eagerness to start a war with Iran has been leaked, suggesting it confirms that President Trump was holding on to “secret information” at his Secret Service-guarded Mar a Lago residence.
The 45th president can be heard referring to “secret information” as the papers are discussed, with a staffer joking that Hillary Clinton would print such information out regularly. “[S]he’d send it to Anthony Weiner, the pervert,” Trump responds, prompting laughter.
The entire clip appears to be jocular in nature – a fact left out by CNN in its previous characterizations of the audio – which could only have been leaked to the network by the U.S. government itself, namely the Justice Department (DOJ) or Obama-linked prosecutor Jack Smith directly. Last week, a judge ordered that while Biden’s weaponized DOJ had leaked against Trump, that Trump was not allowed to leak to the press in return.
In the audio (below), Trump can be heard discussing with staff something referred to in or on one of the documents, stating: “[A]s president I could have declassified it. Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.”
But it is still not clear whether Trump is talking about the documents themselves, in the audio, or something the documents may be referring to. As a result, a statement from the former President on Tuesday morning called the audio leak “an exoneration”:
The Deranged Special Prosecutor, Jack Smith, working in conjunction with the DOJ & FBI, illegally leaked and “spun” a tape and transcript of me which is actually an exoneration, rather than what they would have you believe. This continuing Witch Hunt is another ELECTION INTERFERENCE Scam. They are cheaters and thugs!
– Donald J. Trump, TruthSocial, June 26th.
The case is ongoing, as America draws closer to an election, with an unprecedented campaign from the government against one of its political opponents.
CNN Airs Clip of Trump Talking 'Secret Info'
So yo believe professional affirmative bureaucratic parasites determine what is classified and not the President?
go away commie.
Again, he had every right as President ro take the Documents, he should never had said, he could have de- classified them and did not. Bad mistake.
There is NO DAMNED PROOF that paper he had WAS an “official” secret document.
Trump is stating that Milley lied and said he wanted to start a war with Iran. And Milley conveniently comes up with “Top Secret” plan.
ND when Trump says “this just came up” he isn’t necessarily referring to That Minute!
To me it’s clear he’s stating Milley “just” came up with it when trying to lie about Trump wanting war.
no, the left ban, threaten, or otherwise silence anyone with different opinions. We’re not doing that here.
You and Reno post up anti-trump rhetoric and enjoy free speech but by doing so, there are consequences.
Suck it up, commie.
Was he under oath, Poindexter?
So where did you pass the bar exam?
I’m not undecided. Trump is not perfect but he has done more for this country than anyone since RR. Trump has put his life on the line to protect the rights and freedoms this great nation holds dear. Trump and Trump alone is fighting the left tooth and nail. Who else is doing that? no one. Trump deserves another shot at the title. He’s earned it. I don’t know if he will win, and I will admit I don’t like some of his tactics but I will support him regardless because he has laid it all on the line for us.
You and Reno are falling in line with those who don’t want Trump to get elected again. You’re falling in line and doing what enemy wants you to do - help destroy Trump by any means possible. Support Trump - MAGA.
NOTHING EXONERATING ABOUT THAT RECORDING. You are more of a fool than you appear if you and Trump think the recording is exonerating.
How so? The recording doesn’t demonstrate him pulling out classified top secret documents and pointing to them? Clearly, they were part of his ‘collection’ for his library. A library that included people within the government trying to start yet another mideast never ending war. Further, the tape was leaked by the prosecution, which is the most convincing portion that it is exonerating, because it denies Trump a fair trail and is misconduct on the part of the government. Yes, I think that just cleared Trump because Smith did it again (misconduct). If they had irrefutable evidence, they would have saved it for trail, IMHO.
More illegally leaked tapes for ya from Jack, Mr. Stalin.

I am sure you are so pleased. Crimes are OK when your side commits them.
You’d be enraged if Trump released anything. You’d want him to spend the rest of his life in prison for process crimes because you know you can’t defeat him legitimately,
I guess you didn’t listen to the recording?
You forgot to whine about the mean tweets, counselor.
I don’t care about that. It did blunt Trump’s effectiveness, though. We need a total Trump 2.0. No more Globalists!
