was DJT’s statement under oath?
I just finished reading the entire indictment, and I and most everyone else have been operating under a misapprehension. There is no charge for sharing classified information with an unauthorized person. It looks like the transcript of the audio was included as evidence that Trump knew he had possession of classified documents, and that he knew he did not have the power to declassify them. In that transcript, Trump even talks to a staffer about seeing if they could get the document declassified, which led to his statement acknowledging he could not declassify it himself. Seems like that was included in the indictment to establish mens rea (guilty mind), and to demonstrate that classified data was at risk of being exposed by Trump having possession.
