Accused of having kept confidential documents after his departure from the White House, Donald Trump has so far pleaded ignorance and negligence. However, a recording made public by the CNN channel, dating from July 2021, tends to prove the contrary.
It is a revelation that undermines Donald Trump’s line of defense. Until then, the former president had always denied having classified documents. But here are his words in 2021, more than a year after leaving the White House: “It’s secret, it’s confidential information. Look at this“. In his property in New Jersey (United States), in front of several people without security clearance, the former president mentioned a Pentagon plan for a potential attack against Iran.
Trump remains in the lead in the campaign
“Here are the documents, the army prepared them for me and gave them to me. As president I could have downgraded them, now I can’t, but it’s still a secret“, did he declare. The recording is in the hands of the special prosecutor, who indicted Donald Trump on June 8. In the ongoing campaign for the Republican nomination, Trump remains largely in the lead. His indictment has in no way diminished the support given to him by Republican voters.
