Bestie, wake up, new Trump tape just dropped! The most shocking part of the federal indictment against Donald Trump was the inclusion of a partial transcript of an audio recording in which the former President blatantly says he’s holding a classified document and then showing it to people.
Not even for profit, just for spite. The indictment shares moments from the convo in which Trump says identifies a document, calls it “secret information,” specifically notes that he didn’t declassify it while president, and tells those in the room, including two writers working on a memoir and at least one aide, to look at it.
