Trump kept secret Pentagon document, sources say

Federal prosecutors have reportedly taped Donald Trump saying that he had kept a secret Pentagon document about a possible attack on Iran.

The existence of such a recording would indicate that the former president had held on to classified material after resigning, according to multiple sources.

The recording was described by its sources, although CNN did not listen to it itself.

Prosecutors are asking a federal grand jury to question the recording and the document. The investigation also questioned Gen. Mark Milley, a senior national security official, about the incident.

The report referenced a meeting at Trump's Bedminster golf club in July 2021 where individuals involved in former chief of staff Mark Meadow's autobiography and Trump's former aides, including Margo Martin, gathered. CNN's sources said that the participants didn't have the security clearances needed to access classified information and that Meadows wasn't himself present.

The autobiography of Meadows depicts the same meeting in which Trump recalls a four-page report that contained the general's plan to attack Iran. The document Trump referred to on the tape was not created by Milley, according to CNN sources.

Donald Trump fears he will get Assassinated by Iran as a compensation for Soleimani's killing despite public bravado, the new book says.

The meeting where the Iran document came up took place much before Trump sent 15 boxes of presidential records and classified documents to the National Archives and Records Administration in January 2022, according to the National Archives and Records Administration.

In a possible case against Trump, CNN sources say the recording could be an important piece of evidence.

The recording of the Trump administration could increase his legal exposure as he seeks a third term as president. He is currently the Republican frontrunner, running for reelection in the 2016 election.

The Trump campaign has decried the leaks and said these are meant to inflame tensions surrounding the former U.S. leader, according to CNN.

When the FBI found Sensitive classified documents in the Mar-A-Lago office, Trump lawyer Donald Trump was reported to be Barred from searching the Mar-A-Lago office.
