Trump In A Puddle Again As Audio Recording Of Him Discussing “Highly Confidential” Information Comes Out

Donald Trump, the former President of the US is in trouble again! This time it is a big one. An audio recording of the former President has come up in which he is discussing, what he called “highly confidential” information. The information was about Iran that he stated he could not declassify as he was not part of the office anymore. While Mr. Trump earlier claimed that he was simply discussing news clippings.

Federal prosecutors used excerpts from a transcript of the two-minute recording of the former president in their indictment of him on charges that he mishandled classified documents after leaving office and then obstructed government efforts to recover them, putting national security secrets at risk.

Mr. Trump discussed a “secret” plan

The conversation, which took place in July 2021, was between Mark Meadows, Mr. Trump’s final chief of staff, and a publisher and writer who were both working on his memoir. In it, he reviewed what he called a “secret” Iran strategy developed by the Defence Department and Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Milley anticipated that he would fabricate a crisis with Iran in the time following his loss in the 2020 presidential election, and Mr. Trump used the paper to refute that claim.

Turned down the allegations earlier

In a recent interview with, Mr. Trump asserted that he had not disclosed any secret information at the meeting that had taken place at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club. Rather than talking about “secret” or “highly confidential” papers, Mr. Trump claimed he was referring to “newspaper stories, magazine stories, and articles.”

However, it appears from the audio recording of the entire conversation that Mr. Trump wasn’t referring to unreliable sources, but rather to a specific document (or documents) that were in front of him.
