The media also published reports about the audio recording, which has not yet been published. Trump has repeatedly claimed that classified information was no longer classified after it was moved to his private home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. The recording could undermine Trump’s argument.

On the Internet portal “Truth Social,” which he co-founded, Trump described the publication of the recording as election influence and part of an “ongoing witch hunt.” He accused the Department of Justice’s special counsel, Jack Smith, of being “mentally deranged”. Smith, the Department of Justice, and the FBI illegally leaked the recording to the press and misrepresented the facts—in effect, the recording amounts to a vindication of him as a former president.

Historic indictment

The FBI had searched Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August and seized numerous classified documents from his tenure, some of the highest classification level. By storing secret government documents in private rooms after his presidency, Trump could have exposed himself to prosecution.

He was charged in the case in mid-June and had to appear in person in federal court in Miami. Trump pleaded “not guilty”. This was the first time a former US president appeared in federal court to face indictment.
