Trump then asserts that the information is classified and that he had the authority to declassify it as President, but chose not to do so.
The former US President issued a statement on Truth Social expressing disapproval of the prosecutor and claiming that the leaked audio and transcript have been presented in a manner that distorts the actual situation.
Former President Trump was indicted by the Justice Department on charges of allegedly leaking classified documents. In addition to the limited evidence, primarily consisting of text messages, that was included in the Indictment, this is the first hard evidence that has been made available to the general public.
