Former U.S. President Donald Trump falsely claimed he had given the letters he exchanged with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to the National Archives last year when he was interviewed by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman for her forthcoming book, according to audio of the interview obtained by CNN.
Trump also claimed in his interviews with Haberman that he was not watching television while the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol unfolded, which has been contradicted by testimony of White House aides to the House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection., chronicles how the former U.S. President's rise in the world of New York City politics and real estate in the 1970s and 1980s ultimately shaped his worldview and his presidency.
CNN and other outlets have previously reported that Trump, in fact, had kept the Kim letters among the tens of thousands of government documents that he took to his Mar-a-Lago resort after leaving the White House. The letters were among the items in the boxes he turned over to the National Archives in January, which also included classified material that prompted the Archives to refer the matter to the Justice Department.
"I had heard that afterwards, and actually on the late side. I was having meetings. I was also with Mark Meadows and others. I was not watching television. I didn't have the television on," he said.
