An audio clip from July 2021 of former President Donald Trump appearing to discuss classified military documents in his possession was aired by CNN Monday night, challenging Trump's recent denial about having classified documents when the recording took place.
In the two-minute audio clip, Trump talks about being in possession of “a big pile of papers,” including what is purportedly a classified plan about attacking Iran.
According to CNN, the audio clip was recorded in July 2021 during a meeting between Trump and publishers on a memoir for his White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows at his golf club and resort in Bedminster, New Jersey.
In the recording, the former president attempts to push back on the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley’s claim that he was worried about Trump starting a conflict with Iran after losing the 2020 election.
