evidence: A new report details a recording in which former President Donald Trump talks about the classified documents he transferred from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. [...] CNN has obtained a transcript of the recording, which showcases that Trump was aware that at least some of the documents in his possession were classified, and that he did not declassify them as president or on his way out of the White House — statements that directly contradict his public defenses for having the documents in his possession. [...] In the recording, Trump readily admits to those in the room that the documents he has on him are classified. "As president, I could have declassified, but now I can’t," he said, according to the transcript.
