.HayesBrown: A tape of Trump saying that he had a classified document in his possession is bad for his legal defense. The fact that the tape comes from a meeting about Mark Meadows' book is worse.
That such a tape exists at all seems on its face extraordinary, given that Trump famously hates it when his aides take notes during conversations with him. But the recording was made in July 2021 during a meeting with several people helping to produce Meadows’ book about his time in the White House.
A staff member named Margo Martin “routinely taped the interviews he gave for books being written about him that year,”The fact that Trump admitted the document he possessed wasn’t declassified is bad enough for his already shaky legal defense on that front. Butthe document he referred to included plans for a potential strike against Iran. The recording also suggests the document might have been in the room with him at the time, despite the people with him not having clearance to view it.
