next Audio of Donald Trump’s confession being broadcast by CNN On Monday night, the person himself put the tape of being a confidential document on his social media. But “Morning Joe” panelist Jonathan Lemire observed that one key thing was missing from Trump’s words: a denial that the tape is real.
In audio obtained by CNN and later by The New York Times, the twice-convicted former president can be heard talking to unidentified people about papers and rustling through them. Those papers reportedly contained confidential plans regarding Iran, and Trump has clearly indicated that he no longer has the ability to make them public (which, of course, is what Fox News’s Brett Baer has to say about Trump). flies in the face of previous claims).
Shortly after the audio was released, Trump posted angrily on Truth Social, writing that prosecutor Jack Smith “illegally leaked and ‘spun’ a tape and transcript of mine, which is actually an acquittal, rather than what they What will you believe?” But, on Tuesday morning’s episode of “Morning Joe,” Jonathan Lemire was quick to explain what that post meant.
“We should note, in his Truth Social post last night, he did not challenge the validity or authenticity of the tape,” Lemire said. “He interpreted it differently, but didn’t say it was a fake.”
That said, Lemire and his “Morning Joe” colleagues don’t expect the new audio to hurt Trump much, at least not his Republican allies.
“You would think so, wouldn’t you? But I mean, how many possible offrames did they have that they went through?” Charlie Sykes said.
