Trump railed against Smith and his criminal case, and asked 'somebody' to 'explain' his position to the special counsel, his family and his friends.
Tuesday morning, Trump decried the criminal charges that have been filed against him in federal court and asked "somebody" to "explain" his position to special counsel Jack Smith, "his family, and his friends."
Trump was indicted on charges stemming from his alleged mishandling of classified documents and efforts to keep them from the government after leaving office. He pleaded not guilty earlier this month to 37 counts, including willful retention of national defense information and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
"This was done by the military, and given to me," Trump said in the tape, which was recorded months after he left the White House. Trump indicates that the document has to do with a plan of attack on Iran.Trump was reportedly speaking to a writer and publisher who were working a book about former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Two of Trump's staff members were also present.
Trump's attacks on Smith fit the pattern and style that the former president has employed against many of his other legal and political foes.
