A 2021 audio recording of former US President Donald Trump has emerged in which he admitted to having a classified Pentagon document on a possible attack on Iran after he left the White House.
According to the American media, this recording is with the federal prosecutor, although the American TV channel CNN has not heard this recording, but it has been confirmed by several sources.
According to the report, the recording shows that Trump, who is seeking to become the Republican Party’s nominee in the 2024 presidential election, believes that he kept the classified document after he left the White House in 2021.
Earlier, in August last year, the Department of Justice revealed that the former president illegally possessed documents containing the most classified US secrets, so Trump is being investigated.
Peter Carr, a spokesman for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office at the Department of Justice, declined to comment on the audio, but the department is investigating whether Trump may have used government records after he leaves office in January 2021. (some of which were top secret) had broken the law or not.
On the other hand, Donald Trump has been denying involvement in any wrongdoing while none of his representatives have commented on the recording report or the statement attributed to Trump and has described the ongoing investigation against the former president as a political tactic. .
Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Donald Trump, said the leaks were designed to fuel tensions and continue the media’s harassment of Trump and his supporters.
