Trump lawyers unable to locate classified document mentioned in audio subpoena.

Attorneys for former President Donald Trump have informed the Justice Department that they have been unable to locate a classified document related to Iran sought by investigators that was discussed during a recorded meeting. The audio, recorded by a Trump aide, includes remarks Trump made to two ghostwriters for his last White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, related to Iran and how to confront it militarily. Prosecutors obtained the recording in recent months and presented it in grand jury proceedings examining the former president's actions related to sensitive records.

Trump's Subpoenaed Classified Document Defense Complicated by Newly Obtained Recording.

Attorneys for Donald Trump turned over material in response to a federal subpoena related to a classified US military document described by the former president on tape in 2021 but were unable to find the document itself. Prosecutors sought “any and all” documents and materials related to Mark Milley, Trump’s chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Iran, including maps or invasion plans. The fact that Trump’s team was unable to produce the document underscores the challenges the government has faced in trying to recover classified material that Trump took when he left the White House and in understanding the movement of government records that Trump kept.

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.
