Trump responds to leaked audio over sensitive national security info: 'Another hoax'

Fox News chief Washington correspondent Mike Emanuel has more on the classified documents case on 'Special Report.' 

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s 37-count indictment of former President Trump reportedly does not include his holding on to a secret Pentagon document with plans to attack Iran.

The document and an audio recording of an interview Trump gave at his Bedminster, New Jersey, resort in July 2021 were described in Smith’s indictment but the former president was not charged with holding onto the memo, sources tell CBS News.
