Things are not looking good for Donald Trump.
Hours after Trump was reportedly indicted by a Florida grand jury in the classified documents case CNN’s Paula Reid shared a transcript of the tape in which Trump discusses not being able to share secret information.
Reid and Kaitlan Collins broke the news last week that Trump was caught on tape discussing an allegedly classified document that he had taken with him when he left the White House. During the tape, Trump reportedly acknowledged he can’t show the document, which outlines a plan to attack Iran, to his visitors because of the classification attached to it.
Read the transcript below:
“Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this,” Trump says at one point, according to the transcript. “This was done by the military and given to me.”
Trump was complaining in the meeting about Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley. The meeting occurred shortly after The New Yorker published a story by Susan Glasser detailing how, in the final days of Trump’s presidency, Milley instructed the Joint Chiefs to ensure Trump issued no illegal orders and that he be informed if there was any concern.
“Well, with Milley – uh, let me see that, I’ll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack Iran. Isn’t that amazing? I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him,” Trump says, according to the transcript. “They presented me this – this is off the record, but – they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him. We looked at some. This was him. This wasn’t done by me, this was him.”
Trump continues: “All sorts of stuff – pages long, look. Wait a minute, let’s see here. I just found, isn’t that amazing? This totally wins my case, you know. Except it is like, highly confidential. Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this.”
During an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital Thursday night, Trump said the case is “election interference” and “the greatest witch hunt of all time.” Trump said he will “of course” plead not guilty to charges in federal court on Tuesday, and said he is “totally innocent.”
“This is the most corrupt administration in history—there has never been an administration so corrupt, and they’re just starting to find it right now,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “They are trying to deflect all of their dishonesty by bringing this ridiculous boxes hoax case.”
He added: “They’re not going to get away with it.”
“I did absolutely nothing wrong,” he said, citing the Presidential Records Act, saying it “makes me totally innocent.”
“Doctored” tape right
Donald J Trump 2 is one of America’s greatest President ever! PRESIDENT Trump will easily be reelected as President again!! Best wishes to President Donald J Trump! I support President Donald J Trump 1000000 percent!
Donald J Trump is my President and Biden and his ilk are just doing every rotten thing they can think of to try to destroy the real President who HELPED America – unlike the Empty Suit shuffling around the White House right now, who has done nothing but destroy decency and what America was when the Real President was in office. LGB! Ultra MEGA MAGA!
I am so ashamed of our present government. This is not America. It is like Hitlers Germany in the 1930’s. People have been afraid to speak out because the “government” will take revenge on themn and their families. When did we descend into such a wicked and evil country? I blame the democrats because they are evil and I blame the Republicans because they do not stand up for the law. How can we ever recover from such evil?
CNN? You mean the Communist News Network? I understand their ratings have been in the toilet for a long time.
You have to wonder how long Americans will take this outrageous corruption and abuse of our President.
the democratic party and all who support them should be ashamed of their effort to destroy President Trump. the main reason, I think, is that Trump showed the nation that a business man could to the job of POTUS better than a career politician. the democrats cannot allow this. all the democrats and some republicans would loose their jobs and all the graft. to all democrat supporters ask yourself, “how do you become a multimillionaire on a congressman’s salary. Just check out bidens monetary worth. also check out what biden has done for the country after a lifetime as a democrat stooge. biden has shown the country how bad a career politician can be for the USA. it is time for the country to vote all democrats out of office before we become a communist country.
