Trump Dismisses Leaked Audio of Him Talking Classified War Plans as ‘Another Hoax’
Former President Donald Trump dismissed leaked audio of him discussing classified strategies for a potential attack on Iran after leaving office as “another hoax” as he campaigned in New Hampshire Tuesday.
“I would say election interference more than anything else. It’s a disgrace that they can do it,” the 77-year-old told Fox News Digital. “Everything was fine. We did nothing wrong and everybody knows it.”
CNN published the recording Monday evening. Quotes from it had been circulating for weeks and it served as a key piece of evidence in the 37-count federal indictment Trump is facing for alleged hoarding of classified material.
In the tape, which was recorded in July 2021, Trump was reflecting on his presidency to individuals working on his former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’s memoir.
The former president suggested to his listeners that the plans came from Gen. Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. At the time, Trump was peeved about a New Yorker article in which Milley claimed he fought to prevent the 45th president from attacking Iran during his final weeks in the White House, according to the cable network.
