This exact thing was in the indictment document today. There is a transcript where he showed classified documents during an interview, talking about a planned attack on "[Country A]". He told the press that he could have declassified these documents but they are still secret and he can't declassify them now.
TRUMP:
Well, with [the Senior Military Official]-uh, let me see that, I'll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack [Country A]. Isn't it amazing? I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him. They presented me this this is off the record, but they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him.
WRITER:
Wow.
TRUMP:
We looked at some. This was him. This wasn't done by me, this was him. All sorts of stuff-pages long, look.
STAFFER:
Mm.
TRUMP:
Wait a minute, let's see here.
STAFFER:
[Laughter] Yeah.
TRUMP:
I just found, isn't that amazing? This totally wins my case, you know.
STAFFER:
Mm-hm.
TRUMP:
Except it is like, highly confidential..
STAFFER:
Yeah. [Laughter]
TRUMP:
Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this. You attack, and--
TRUMP:
By the way. Isn't that incredible?
STAFFER:
Yeah.
TRUMP:
I was just thinking, because we were talking about it. And you know, he said, "he wanted to attack [Country A], and what..."
STAFFER:
You did.
TRUMP:
This was done by the military and given to me. Uh, I think we can probably, right?
STAFFER:
I don't know, we'll, we'll have to see. Yeah, we'll have to try to--
TRUMP:
Declassify it.
STAFFER:
-figure out a-yeah.
TRUMP:
See as president I could have declassified it.
STAFFER:
Yeah. [Laughter]
TRUMP:
Now I can't, you know, but this is still a secret.
Bro it’s like in a movie when a crime boss gets suspicious because one of his guys gets caught and released from jail in one day and is now asking “hey boss remember all that crime we did together, what are your thoughts about that?”
Hilarious to me that Jan 6th wasn't the thing to bring Trump down but showing his golfing buddies where seal team six was in Afghanistan was.
