Trump displays classified Iran strike document to unauthorized guests at Bedminster

At his Bedminster, NJ club, former President Trump showed a classified document describing a potential U.S. military strike plan against Iran to PAC representatives and his publisher — none holding security clearances. Trump acknowledged on tape he could not declassify it as ex-president. The recording became central evidence in Special Counsel Jack Smith's indictment (Counts 32-33).
