Trump shows classified Iran attack plan at Bedminster, admits can't declassify
Audio recording captured Trump showing classified documents about U.S. attack plans on Iran to people without security clearances at his Bedminster golf club. Trump stated: “As president I could have declassified it. Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.” This admission proved Trump knew he retained classified material and lacked power to declassify it after leaving office, becoming key evidence in Jack Smith’s prosecution.
