TL;DR Summary

US prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of former President Donald Trump acknowledging keeping a classified document after leaving the White House. The justice department is investigating Mr Trump's handling of classified material, and the inquiry is reported to be nearing its end and could result in charges. The audio recording is said to be from a meeting at Mr Trump's New Jersey golf club in July 2021, which is around six months after he left office. The tape appears to contradict Mr Trump's repeated argument that he declassified all material he removed from the White House.
