Monday evening, CNN aired an audio recording purporting to show former President Donald Trump admitting to being in possession of classified documents that he did not declassify and showed to people without proper security clearance. Conspiracy theories on how CNN got the tapes have abounded, but Mark Levin is attempting to throw water on them.
In a Tuesday expanded tweet, Levin claimed its clear the audio was leaked from the federal prosecutor’s office, despite speculation that Trump himself could have leaked the audio to the cable news outlet.
“This latest prosecutorial leak of an audio clip to CNN, is further intended to poison a jury pool and deny the former president due process, as he was denied attorney-client privilege and the usual administrative processes afforded former presidents when leaving office,” Levin wrote.
“To be clear, we know nothing about the context of the audio. Nothing. We are fed exactly two minutes via CNN, a favorite state-run media outlet. We know no more or no less than they tell us. And the multiple felonies committed by the regime in leaking the tape will be ignored. Felonies committed in pursuit of Trump are no longer felonies. The ‘justice system’ is dead. The Democrat Party owns the federal government.”
CNN aired the audio clip Monday evening. The revelation elicited a strong reaction from both sides of the political aisle, as evidenced by Levin’s remarks. Some had argued the possibility that Trump had leaked the audio himself with the intention of turning public support to his side.
