Earlier this week, audio tape was dropped of Donald Trump bragging about having classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
The recording, obtained by CNN, has Trump mentioning a DoD document that was apparently classified.
Trump, however, says this is all a hoax.
The Recording

At one point in the recording, Trump refers to the document as “highly confidential.”
He also states that were he still president, he could declassify the document but since he was out of office, he could no longer do that.
While everyone else is calling the recording a smoking gun, Trump says the audio exonerates him…
Trump continues to say this is all election interference and he has done nothing wrong.
However, Trump seemed to move away from his initial response on Tuesday, now claiming he was just lying about everything.
Trump stated, “I would say it was bravado, if you want to know the truth, it was bravado.
“I was talking and just holding up papers and talking about them, but I had no documents.
“I didn’t have any documents.”
I am not sure Americans by-and-large are accepting this, but his supporters clearly are.
To this point, regardless of Trump’s legal problems, nothing sticks.
Quite the opposite, actually…
With every new “scandal,” Trump seems to widen his lead against DeSantis and continues to have a stranglehold on the GOP nomination.
