Ex-president is heard discussing a Pentagon paper detailing plans to attack Iran with people who did not have security clearances

An audio clip has emerged of Donald Trump discussing secret documents that he had not declassified at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club in July 2021, providing new evidence that the former president knew of proper declassification procedures.

The recording, obtained by CNN, includes new details from a conversation that is a critical piece of evidence in special counsel Jack Smith's indictment of Trump over the mishandling of classified information. It includes a moment when Trump seems to indicate he was holding a secret Pentagon document with plans to attack Iran.
