You are assuming that Trump did not know he was being recorded. Since the purpose of the meeting was to interview him for a book that was being written about Mark Meadows, I have no doubt that he knew he was being recorded. Trump has been interviewed for enough articles and books to know that it is standard practice to record them (no one takes shorthand anymore). In fact, I am pretty confident that the tape itself will have an acknowledgment by Trump that he knows he is being recorded, as protection for the writer so he didn’t get sued later.
“You are assuming that Trump did not know he was being recorded.”
Yes, I am. In fact, I doubt the conversation (as transcribed) took place. But if it did, it is very likely that it has been highly edited and/or taken out of context.
The whole thing is purely an attempt to interfere with the 2024 election.
This has absolutely nothing to do with national security or justice.
And people are falling for it just like the Russia hoax.
