CNN obtained leaked audio that is a key part of the case against Donald Trump. Breitbart reported: Cooper said, “We begin tonight with breaking news. We have obtained what is expected to be a central piece of the government’s case against Donald Trump, the actual audio recording of the former president talking as if he’s showing a highly classified document on US war plans against Iran with people not cleared to even know it exists, let alone what’s in it. In a moment only on CNN you will hear what jurors will hear one day.” He continued, “The recording was made two summers ago, July 2021 at the former president’s club in Bedminster, New Jersey. You will clearly hear the former president, as he is speaking to several people. According to the special council’s indictment, they include a writer working on Mark Meadows’ memoir, the publisher, and two of Trump’s staff members. The president was aware he was being recorded. It is the first time it is being played publicly.”

In the leaked audio, Trump can be heard saying, “These are bad sick people.” With the sound of papers moving, Trump continued, “With Milley, let me see that. I’ll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack Iran. Isn’t it amazing? I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him. They presented me this. This is off the record, but they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him. We looked at some. This wasn’t done by me. All sorts of stuff, pages long, look. Let’s see here. It’s that amazing This totally wins my case, you know. Except it is, like, highly confidential, secret. This is secret information. But look, look at this. You attack.”

Trump reacted on Truth Social saying that the tape and transcript are actually an exoneration.

He also once again said that he is exonerated by the Presidential Records Act.

How did CNN get this audio?

The audio recording obtained by CNN is considered a crucial piece of evidence in the case against Donald Trump. The recording was made two summers ago, in July 2021, at Trump’s club in Bedminster, New Jersey. According to the special counsel’s indictment, the people present during the conversation included a writer working on Mark Meadows’ memoir, the publisher, and two of Trump’s staff members. It is stated that Trump was aware he was being recorded.

CNN has not disclosed the source of the leaked audio recording. However, its existence raises questions about the security and confidentiality of sensitive information shared by the former president. The leaked audio appears to depict Trump discussing highly classified documents related to US war plans against Iran.

The audio recording has not been made publicly available until now, and its contents raise concerns about potential breaches of national security and the handling of classified information.

Trump’s reaction

Following the release of the leaked audio, Trump took to Truth Social, his preferred social media platform, to share his reaction. He claims that the tape and transcript actually serve as an exoneration rather than evidence against him.

Trump asserts that the Special Prosecutor, Jack Smith, working in conjunction with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), illegally leaked and misinterpreted the contents of the tape. He labels the ongoing investigation as a “Witch Hunt” and accuses those involved of election interference.

Moreover, Trump emphasizes his belief that he is exonerated by the Presidential Records Act. He invokes the case of “Clinton Socks” to support his claim that as the former president, he falls under the protection of the act and not under the Espionage Act of 1917, which Smith alleges may be applicable in this situation. Trump redirects attention to Joe Biden, calling him “Crooked Joe Bidden” and alleging that he has committed multiple crimes against the American people, including extorting millions of dollars from foreign countries.

Summary

The leaked audio recording obtained by CNN presents a significant development in the case against Donald Trump. The recording, made in July 2021, captures a conversation between Trump and several individuals discussing highly classified information regarding US war plans against Iran. Trump’s response to the leaked audio has been to claim that it actually exonerates him and accuses those involved of illegal activities and interference in the election process.
