Trump caught on tape discussing classified document after leaving office.

Federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of former President Donald Trump acknowledging that he held onto a classified document about Iran war plans after leaving the White House. In the recording, Trump says that he should have declassified the material while he was president, implying that he did not take formal steps to do so while in office. The recording was made during a meeting held at Trump’s golf club in New Jersey in July 2021, where people were helping Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, write a memoir. The Justice Department is currently investigating Trump’s handling of classified material, though he denies wrongdoing.
