Summary
Federal prosecutors claim they have a recording of Donald Trump acknowledging that he kept and shared a classified military document about Iran. Glenn wonders how the D.O.J. can avoid indicting him and expect others to keep our nation's secret documents - a secret? Then, Glenn gives us three legal stories. First: the recording of Donald Trump discussing a classified military document on Iran is missing according to his lawyers. So what happened to that document? Second: Georgia D.A. Fani Willis has now broadened her case to include Washington DC and several other states. Does this mean new and bigger charges are coming? And third: former Vice President Mike Pence will not be charged in the discovery of classified documents at his Indiana home according to the Department of Justice. Glenn points out the big differences between Trump and Pence as far as classified documents in their possession. One of them did it by accident - the other on purpose.

| 0:00.0 | It's time for Justice Matters, with former Federal Prosecutor and MSNBC analyst, Glenn Kirschner. |
| 0:15.4 | Federal prosecutors claim they have audio former President Trump acknowledging that he retained |
| 0:20.2 | and shared a classified military document on Iran. Will he be charged with espionage? Here's Glenn. |
| 0:27.0 | So friends, I'm sure you've seen the reporting by now about Donald Trump caught on tape, |
| 0:34.3 | mishandling national security information, information about a potential attack by the US on a foreign |
| 0:42.5 | country, very likely in violation of the espionage act in violation of our nation's espionage laws. |
| 0:51.6 | Here is some new reporting by Hugo Lowell of the Guardian. Hugo has been doing some terrific |
| 0:58.8 | reporting on this and other issues involving the many crimes of Donald Trump. And in this latest |
| 1:06.3 | reporting, Hugo puts a slightly finer point on this story regarding Donald Trump potentially |
| 1:14.2 | compromising national security information. Headline Trump regretted not declassifying retained |
| 1:23.7 | military document in recording. Federal prosecutors have obtained audio in which the former President |
| 1:31.8 | acknowledged he retained a classified paper on Iran. And that article begins, |
| 1:38.8 | Federal prosecutors obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting where Donald Trump |
| 1:45.6 | suggested he should have declassified a military document about Iran he admitted retaining. |
| 1:54.0 | According to people familiar with the criminal investigation into his retention of national |
| 1:59.3 | security papers, the document at issue is understood to be classified as secret. Significant |
| 2:08.0 | as the justice department typically prefers to charge espionage cases involving retention of |
| 2:15.0 | materials at that level at a secret classification rather than top secret papers that might be too |
| 2:23.3 | sensitive or confidential papers that are too lower. Confidential is a lower classification. |
| 2:32.5 | The recording was made at Trump's Bedminster Golf Club in July 2021 when the former president met |
| 2:39.0 | with people helping his former chief of staff Mark Meadows write a book by his aide Margo Martin, |
