Audio allegedly reveals Trump discussing classified documents
Показать описание
Audio recordings obtained by ABC News allegedly indicate former President Donald Trump knew he held classified documents after leaving office.
The recording is with an unnamed staffer and was recorded in Bedminster, New Jersey, in 2021.
Trump is defending against charges that he illegally kept top-secret documents upon leaving the White House in 2021.
The former U.S. president, who is a candidate to run again in the 2024 election, pleaded not guilty in Florida federal court on Tuesday. The 37 counts against him include violations of the Espionage Act, conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements to investigators.
National security law experts were struck by the breadth of evidence in the indictment which includes documents, photos, text messages, audio and witness statements. They said this made a strong case for prosecutors’ allegation that Trump illegally took the documents and then tried to cover it up.
Trump’s lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Trump has called the case a “witch hunt” orchestrated by political enemies.
Trump has claimed he declassified the documents before taking them.
That assertion is undercut by the taped conversation cited in the indictment, which said Trump showed a secret document to several people and said that he “could have declassified it” as president but did not.
