CNN reported today, Wednesday, citing several sources, that "federal prosecutors possess an audio recording from 2021 in which former President Donald Trump acknowledged retaining a secret document from the Department of Defense (Pentagon) concerning a potential attack on Iran, after leaving office. CNN has not listened to the recording but reported descriptions of its content from multiple sources. The news network stated that 'Trump appeared in the recording to be aware that he was holding classified materials after leaving the White House in 2021. His statements suggested a desire to share the information, but he was aware of the restrictions on his ability to declassify documents after leaving office.'"
