on the bipartisan deal to raise the debt ceiling and cut spending so the nation averts a default next week. president biden and speaker mccarthy are defending the agreement as some of their parties are also railing against it. we ll bring you the results of that vote as soon as it happens. but first, to a cnn exclusive tonight. reporting the federal prosecutors have donald trump on tape in his own words acknowledging that he took a sensitive national security document with him when he left the white house. that is what multiple sources tell cnn. and i ll speak with one of the former president s attorneys in just a moment. but we are told that trump s comments in the 2021 recording suggest that he knew that he kept classified material and wanted to share it, but understood his limitations post presidency. in other words, he knew that this was likely false when he said it. by the way, they become automatically declassified when i took them. and the same goes for this. i
former president acknowledging he held on to a pentagon document about a potential attack on iran. also the vote that almost did not happen, just hours after it squeaked onto the house floor. and rattling russia. a closer look at the shadowy effort that s getting high-profile results, bringing the war in ukraine onto russian soil. prosecutors investigating the former president s handling of classified material have in their possession a recording from the summer of 2021, in which the former president is telling people around him in a meeting at his resort in bedminster that he has held on to a classified pentagon document about a potential attack on iran. cnn is reporting, this undercuts his argument that he declassified everything. and on the tape, as he spoke, it sounds like he was waving a piece of paper around, raising the question, was he holding the classified document in question. which goes to what kaitlan collins asked him at the town hall earlier this month.

once. we will see if it plays out this way. i would also say jake, it raises the question, he is the front runner, what if donald trump is not the nominee, would biden reconsider the reelection effort if that s the key rationale? because it s the kind of admission a candidate should be making? it will provide donald trump an opportunity here to talk about joe biden being more focused about him than anything else but if joe biden s critical mission of this time is starting to piece back his coalition of voters, some of which he has seen a diminishing support, reminding them of the contrast with donald trump and that donald trump is the target, could help rally the troops if you will. interesting, stick around, would be in kristin and michael, the former special assistant, you worked for president biden, you ve heard him say this before behind closed doors, have you heard him say that, and i surprised he admitted this to people outside of the white house? we always heard

Serves me well on the bike, served me well during the disease. But the level that it went to for whatever reason, is a fall. Reporter as details poured out, bicyclists poured in. Some say armstrong deserves some slack. It doesnt take away from what he has done for the sport and its still a remarkable feet no matter what. Reporter others race competitive. We race clean, we race fair. I think it puts a big dark shadow over it. Reporter Lance Armstrong says he never forced teammates to cheat. I think hes mean. Hes mean spirited and i think that really comes across. Reporter occasionally armstrongs answers drew laughter. He called doping a habit like putting air in his tires, water in his bottle. Thats probably my favorite quote of the night so far. Even scarier. Reporter did you feel in any way that you were cheating . No. The scar
