CNN has just published a highly confidential audio tape that the DOJ will use against Trump in his classified documents case.
In the leaked audio Trump is heard telling a reporter and a staffer that General Milley wanted Trump to go to war with Iran.
Trump in the audio revealed how he completely shut down Milley and prevented the US from getting into any war with Iran.
He then is heard showing the reporter some documents that prove his comments about Gen. Milley are 100% factual.

JUST IN: Someone has leaked audio footage to CNN of Trump discussing classified material.
America has a two-tiered justice system so this obviously does not bode well for Trump.

Here’s what The Daily Mail reported:
Donald Trump on Monday night claimed new audio of him discussing and showing off a classified document about potential military action in Iran ‘exonerated’ him, adding that the special counsel was ‘deranged’.
ADVERTISEMENTCNN released Monday evening the two-minute recording of the former president’s 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he talked about the documents he did not declassify before leaving office but took with him anyway.
The conversation has become crucial in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump.
Specifically, Trump appears to say that he is holding a Pentagon document with ‘secret’ classification that includes plans to attack Iran.
‘These are the papers,’ Trump says while discussing the Pentagon attack plans.
Trump said on Monday night the tape had been ‘spun’ and proved his innocence. He did not explain why.
Comedian Dave Smith had one of the best takes on the incident:
It’s amazing how many people can share this video and seem to ignore the obviously most interesting part and just focus on him saying the documents were secret. He’s talking about the military trying to push the President into yet another stupid evil war.pic.twitter.com/TEgfeGVZa1

Dave Friedman also had a solid take:
Help me with this: DOJ is prosecuting Trump for sharing information with a reporter, when DOJ itself shared the same information with CNN. https://t.co/WjNH14T3ZD

Fox News had these details to add:
President Trump can be heard on tape discussing classified documents in a leaked recording obtained by multiple news outlets Tuesday.
The recording reveals a conversation Trump had with aides in which he seems to be holding a Pentagon document detailing plans to attack Iran, despite telling Fox News Host Bret Baier earlier this month that there was no such document.
“These are the papers,” Trump can be heard saying in the recording while discussing the Pentagon documents. The former president referenced Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley, who he said had provided a plan of attack for Iran through the Pentagon.
“He said that I wanted to attack Iran, Isn’t it amazing?” Trump says of Milley. “I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him. They presented me this – this is off the record but – they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him.”
