Ex-president shares confidential information in audio recording
Donald Trump has new problems. There was an audio recording of him sharing military secrets. On the tape, the former president can be heard discussing a Pentagon document detailing US plans to attack Iran with people who did not have security clearances.

Taken at Donald Trump Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, July 2021, obtained exclusively by CNN and provides new evidence that the former president was aware of proper declassification procedures.
According to The Guardian, the recording, which first aired on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, contains new details from the conversation, which is key evidence in special counsel Jack Smith's indictment against Trump for mishandling classified information, including when Trump appears to suggested he had a secret Pentagon document with plans to attack Iran.
The episode is one of two cited in the indictment where prosecutors say Trump exposed classified information to others who did not have security clearances, CNN reported.
In the interview, Trump hangs out with people who are helping his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, write a book. His assistant, Margot Martin, regularly recorded interviews with the writers to make sure they were accurately retelling his remarks.
According to a recording posted on CNN, Trump refers to the document and its secrecy.

“These are documents,” Trump says in an audio recording as he discusses plans to attack the Pentagon, a quote that was not part of the indictment.
“This was done by the military and given to me,” Trump continues, before noting that the document remains classified. “You see, as president, I could declassify it,” he says. “I can't now, you know, but it's still a secret.”
Trump and his aides also joked about Hillary Clinton's emails.
“Hillary would write that all the time, you know. Her private emails,” said a Trump staffer.
“No, she would send it to Anthony Weiner,” Trump replied, referring to the former Democratic congressman, prompting laughter from those in attendance.
An audio recording obtained by CNN included a few more lines from the conversation:
Trump: “That's great. I mean, it's like, look, her and I, and you probably almost didn't believe me, but now you do&dquo;.
Writer: “No, I believed you&dquo;.< /p > < p>Trump: “It's unbelievable, isn't it?”
Author: “No, they've never faced a war they didn't want.”
Trump: “ Hey, bring, uh, bring some Coke, please”.
The meeting, which was taped in July 2021, took place shortly after Trump was outraged by reports that Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had urged on him not to attack Iran in the final weeks of his presidency.
Trump believed a document outlining an attack on Iran would disprove Milley's claims, when in fact the report was written earlier in the Trump administration, when Joseph Dunford was chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff, a person familiar with the document said.
Earlier this month, Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 counts related to the alleged mishandling of classified documents kept at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach in Florida.
