CNN has exclusively obtained the audio recording of the 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Trump discusses holding secret documents he did not declassify. The recording 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. Conservative attorney George Conway tells Anderson Cooper that the audio is “stunning” and that the former President has “no respect for the country.” Plus, following the insurrection launched by the Wagner Group over the weekend, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that "the armed rebellion would have been suppressed anyway.” The New Yorker’s David Remnick joins AC360 to discuss Putin’s reaction to the insurrection.
