El Pais: Recording reveals that Trump took a secret plan to attack Iran from the White House
The recording is incriminating evidence in the investigation into classified documents kept by the former president in his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida
Federal prosecutors have obtained a recording of a meeting in the summer of 2021, in which former U.S. president Donald Trump acknowledges that he kept a classified Pentagon document about a possible attack on Iran, according to a report published Wednesday by CNN.
The recording is incriminating evidence against Trump, who has sometimes claimed that he declassified all the documents that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) found during the search of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach (Florida).
According to the CNN report, which cites multiple sources familiar with the investigation, the recording indicates that Trump was aware that he withheld material classified as confidential after leaving the White House.
Trump’s comments suggested that he would like to share the information in the confidential documents, but recognized that his post-presidency ability to declassify records was limited, according to the exclusive.

WNU Editor: As President he had broad powers to decide what to declassify and what not to declassify. But opponents of the former President will still try to use this case to derail his bid for the White House, and his supporters will see this as another attempt by his opponents using the Justice Department to shut him out.
But this ignores a bigger story, and that story is that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley wrote up a report detailing his recommendation and plan to attack Iran.
Thank God then President Trump rejected this insane idea. But the problem that I see is that General Milley is still Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and if he recommended attacking Iran, what the hell is he recommending to President Biden right now when it comes to Russia?
