Media outlets in the United States have obtained a two-minute audio recording in which former US President Donald Trump appears to acknowledge keeping classified documents after leaving office.
The recording was reportedly made in July of 2021 and the documents apparently refer to sensitive information about a possible attack on Iran.
Trump is facing 37 federal charges for his handling of classified documents. He has pleaded not guilty.
So just how damaging is this recording, and will it affect next year’s presidential race?
