(CBrief) – The recording of former President Donald Trump discussing sensitive information that was released is another indication of the federal government’s lack of credibility, said former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
During an interview on Fox News, McEnany and host Sean Hannity discussed the recent audio obtained by CNN that involves former President Donald Trump, who can be heard on the tape ruffling papers and discussing a Department of Defense plan concerning Iran.
“That’s been violated by somebody. I don’t know, why do I assume that a leak to a liberal outlet likely didn’t come from some conservative but maybe somebody close to that special counsel? Just a guess. I don’t know. What do you think, Kayleigh?” Hannity asked.
“Yeah, you know, Sean, it’s absurd, but that is a key point. I sit here and I see these things, these details of the case in a court of law by a special counsel come in, and they’re aired on CNN. We get a transcript of the tape. We get an audio recording of the tape. How does that happen? How was that not violative of the process? And at the time when — I saw today an NBC poll, in the 30 percentile is the approval rating of the DoJ and FBI, we need confidence in our government, in our institutions, and this doesn’t instill much when this is getting leaked to the likes of CNN,” McEnany said.
“I’m sorry, whataboutism is called equal justice and equal application of our laws. And considering they didn’t raid any of the four locations Joe Biden had top-secret classified documents and they certainly let Hillary off the hook and our enemies had access to a lot of that information and she deleted another 33,000 subpoenaed emails and she got away with that, too, and she got away with the dirty dossier that ended up being used for FISA application, none of which were true, I’m standing by my original monologue that said we have a corrupt government and we have a weaponized DoJ and a weaponized FBI and the American people, I think, are seeing it more and more. It’s becoming more transparent every day,” Hannity added.
The Department of Justice’s indictment of Trump makes mention of the audio tape and alleges that the person Trump is speaking with does not have the required security clearance for the papers.
Trump handily won the state in 2020, and that could work to his advantage when it comes to his federal trial for allegedly mishandling classified documents.
As Newsmax reported, the jury pool will come primarily from counties that Trump easily won in 2016 and 2020, and that could work to his advantage when the case comes to trial.
