You can listen to the recording on the article.

From the text:

The recording, which first aired on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” includes new details from the conversation that is a critical piece of evidence in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump over the mishandling of classified information, including a moment when Trump seems to indicate he was holding a secret Pentagon document with plans to attack Iran.

    My biggest fear is from the post I read that said that, in cases like these, the Justice Department will frequently offer the defendant a sweetheart plea deal. The information is so classified that it can’t be used as evidence for national security, and he will get little more than a slap on the wrist again.

      I’ve been wrong before, but I can’t imagine Trump accepting a plea deal.

      Mostly I’d be worried about actually being able to finding a decent jury without one nutjob who refuses to convict under any circumstance.
