CNN has exclusively obtained the audio recording of the 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump discusses holding secret documents he did not declassify.

You can listen to the recording on the article.

From the text:

The recording, which first aired on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” includes new details from the conversation that is a critical piece of evidence in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump over the mishandling of classified information, including a moment when Trump seems to indicate he was holding a secret Pentagon document with plans to attack Iran.

in the current climate I can’t see Trump getting reelected.

As bad as he is, if he becomes ineligible to run, there are equally bad GOP candidates standing in the wings, except they’re more competent and are willing to fuck over the country far worse than Trump was able to.

Yeah it’s so stressful to think about. The only good thing to come out of this is a less-apathetic voting demographic between 18-35. Let’s hope it’s enough to keep the fascists at bay.
