New Woodward audiobook shows Trump knew Kim letters were classified
Source: Washington Post
In December 2019, after then-President Donald Trump had shared with journalist Bob Woodward the fawning letters that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had written to him, the U.S. leader seems to acknowledge he should not be showing them around.
After urging Woodward to treat them with respect, Trump warns in an interview, and dont say I gave them to you, okay?
But Ill let you see them, Trump adds. I dont want you to have them all.
A month later, in January 2020, Woodward pressed Trump in a phone call to let him also see the letters that Trump wrote to Kim. Oh, those are so top secret, Trump says, according to notes of the call taken by Woodward and highlighted in a new audiobook: The Trump Tapes: Bob Woodwards Twenty Interviews with President Trump.

OP
His letters to Kim were top secret because he gave away classified info to Kim?

Woodward has had receipts on explosive things such as Trump knowing that severity of COVID-19 and purposely downplaying it to now sharing 3 years later of Trump exposing classified material.
Woodward is driven by book sales, just like many other folks in this space.

not to buy them for me. Besides being a greedy, opportunistic hack, his writing is choppy, stilted, and boring.
