Trump’s statements on the audio recording, saying “these are the papers” and referring to something he calls “highly confidential” and seems to be showing others in the room, could undercut the former president’s claims in an interview last week with Fox News’ Bret Baier that he did not have any documents with him.

Trump is only ever honest with people he's trying to impress. He only views those documents as a way to gain clout. We know from experience that he lies to literally everyone else, even if it means being openly inconsistent.
