He explicitly mentions that he did not declassify it while serving as president.<\/p>\n<p>During the conversation, Trump shuffles through papers and points to what he claims is a plan of attack on Iran, allegedly given to him by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley. He emphasizes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-biden-willing-to-lift-certain-sanctions-on-iran-to-bring-them-to-the-table-on-nuclear-deal\/\" title=\"Report: Biden Willing To Lift Certain Sanctions On Iran To Bring Them To The Table On Nuclear Deal\">confidential nature<\/a> of the information, stating, &#8220;This is secret information.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump further explains that the military provided him with this material and that, as president, he had the authority to declassify it. However, he acknowledges that he no longer possesses that power, yet still considers the information to be classified.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch the Recording:<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Trump audio:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;See as president I could have declassified it.

However, he has not denied the authenticity of the recording.<\/p>\n<p>On social media, Trump expressed his frustration, stating, &#8220;The Deranged Special Prosecutor, Jack Smith, working in conjunction with the DOJ &#038; FBI, illegally leaked and &#8216;spun&#8217; a tape and transcript of me which is actually an exoneration, rather than what they would have you believe. This continuing Witch Hunt is another ELECTION INTERFERENCE Scam. They are cheaters and thugs!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When questioned about the recording during an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, Trump denied showing classified documents to individuals without security clearances, despite his statements on the recording.<\/p>\n<p>Baier confronted Trump with a direct quote from the recording, where he refers to the document as &#8220;secret&#8221; and mentions his ability to declassify it while he was president. The indictment also cites testimony from people present in the room who claim that Trump showed them the document that day.<\/p>\n<p>Trump refuted these claims, asserting that it was &#8220;just the opposite.&#8221; He insisted that he couldn&#8217;t declassify the information at the time because he was no longer president.<\/p>\n<p>When Baier pressed further, reminding Trump that he was recorded saying those things, Trump responded, &#8220;No, no.
