(Townhall) It was painted as a bombshell recording: former President Donald Trump being negligent with a classified map of a military operation in front of an unauthorized person. The military plan was supposedly a scenario in which we would invade Iran; Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley reportedly ordered its creation. It’s not a good look, but it wasn’t germane to the investigation of classified documents.

By that, I mean it’s not included in the evidence supporting the Trump indictment over this alleged mishandling of sensitive files. CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge, a former Fox News reporter, clarified the recently leaked audio recording of the president regarding this Iran memo. The tapes didn’t do Trump any favors, but Herridge also gutted the core of the latest liberal media narrative over this indictment (via CBS News):
Iran memo — at the heart of the now-public audio recording — is not part of the 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information charged in the special counsel indictment, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to CBS News. https://t.co/84XXgmDoeR
