Don: I was lying on docs tape

Former President Donald Trump now says he was just waving around random sheets of paper when he claimed on tape he had classified documents related to a potential military strike against Iran.

“I would say it was bravado, if you want to know the truth, it was bravado,” Trump told reporters for Semafor and ABC News Tuesday.

“I was talking and just holding up papers and talking about them, but I had no documents. I didn’t have any documents.”

The 77-year-old former president claims he was lying during a taped conversation at his Bedminster, NJ, golf club in July 2021.

The latest explanation from Trump expands on his insistence Monday that the leaked audio recording of the meeting “is actually an exoneration.”

Trump claimed the papers — which can be heard being shuffled around and thumbed through on the recording — were not classified and consisted of whatever random papers happened to be on his desk during the meeting.

“I just held up a whole pile of — my desk is loaded up with papers. I have papers from 25 different things,” he said.

‘No regrets’

When asked by a reporter if he regretted how he handled sensitive material upon leaving the White House, Trump responded, “No, I have no regrets.”

“I didn’t have a classified document. There was no classified document on my desk,” he asserted.

The 2024 GOP presidential primary front-runner ended the interview when asked if he would consider a plea deal in special counsel Jack Smith’s case.

“Frankly, that you even ask a question like that’s a disgrace,” Trump replied. “So let’s end it.”
