Trump's Recorded Admission of Classified Information.

Former President Donald Trump was recorded in July 2021 saying that a document in front of him was "classified" and "highly confidential," according to a person briefed on the matter. The recording is expected to be a key piece of evidence in the case against him that the special counsel Jack Smith brought this week, with seven counts related to his possession of reams of classified material. Trump also indicated he couldn't show the document to the people in front of him, and added, "As president, I could have declassified them, now I can't."
