The Fox News host pressed Trump about an audio recording in which he allegedly admitted to keeping a classified military document after leaving office.
"This is specifically a quote. You were quoted on the recording saying, 'The document was secret,' adding that you could've declassified it while you were president, but 'now I can't. You know this is still secret, highly confidential.' And the indictment says...you showed it to people there that day. You say on tape that you can't declassify it, so why have it?" Baier asked.
Former President Donald Trump speaks in Bedminster, New Jersey, on June 13, 2023. Fox News host Bret Baier confronted Trump about an audio recording in which he allegedly admitted to keeping a classified military document during an interview on Monday.Trump disputed that he was in possession of the military document after leaving office, instead arguing that the documents referred to in the indictment were merely newspaper and magazine clippings.
"When I said that I couldn't declassify it now, that's because I wasn't president," Trump said."There was no document. That was a massive amount of papers and everything else talking about Iran and other things. It may have been held up or may not, but that was not a document. I didn't have a document, per se. There was nothing to declassify. These were newspaper stories, magazine stories and articles.
Fox News also played several clips showing Trump's previous statements about former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, who has faced scrutiny for working on government matters on a private server.
