CNN obtained the audio recording of a 2021 meeting in which former President Donald Trump discussed having secret documents he did not declassify.
The network ran the audio on Anderson Cooper 360. In it, Trump seemed to be showing the confidential documents to others in the room, as they had a discussion about Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Portions of the audio are cited in the federal indictment of Trump over his withholding of classified documents after he left the White House.
In the conversation, reportedly with the writers of Mark Meadows autobiography, Trump referred to the document and that it remained classified.
“See as president I could have declassified it,” Trump says. “Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.”
Trump claimed in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier that he “didn’t have a document, per se,” and instead suggested that he was showing newspaper and magazine stories. Yet in the audio, Trump seems to be referring to classified material when he says, amid the sound of shuffling papers, “This is secret information. Look, look at this.” The classified documents reportedly were Pentagon plans for an attack on Iran.
The audio is below:

After Trump mentions the papers are “highly confidential” and “secret information,” a female staffer jokes, “Hillary would print that out all the time, you know. Her private emails.”“No, she’d send it to Anthony Weiner,” Trump joked, referring to the disgraced former Democratic congressman, who served nearly two years in federal prison after pleading guilty to one count of transferring obscene material to a minor. “These are the papers,” Trump says in the recording, claiming that they prove that it was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen.
