CNN got the audio that is referenced in the government's indictment of Donald Trump.

It all sounds so casual... and I find it funny that Hillary is referenced for her bad behavior when Trump's in the process of showing a classified document to randoms. Almost definitely far more sensitive information than what Hillary accidentally emailed.
Since then, Trump(so I've heard but cannot find a reference to) defended himself by saying he was bullshitting. He was bragging and never actually had a classified document there. And that defense, at least for this particular situation, is more compelling than any else he or his cultists have offered since his hotel got raided.
Here it is:

Former President Donald Trump insisted on Tuesday that he was not showing off classified documents in an audio clip first published by CNN in which he referred to “highly confidential” material and “secret information” that he could no longer declassify.
“I would say it was bravado, if you want to know the truth, it was bravado,” Trump said in an interview aboard his plane with Semafor and ABC News. “I was talking and just holding up papers and talking about them, but I had no documents. I didn’t have any documents.”
Again, this is his best defense, because it is the most plausible one. But it's simply one example the prosecution had. Even if the government can't(or won't) produce the classified document in court that is similar to what he described, the charges won't change, because it wasn't one document he was charged on.
