re: Iran memo not among 31 records underlying Trump federal charges

At what point in the recording, specifically does he say “I’m holding the attack plan on Iran?”

Just my opinion but I believe the writer interviewing Trump was in possession of the classified documents. She obtained a copy of the classified documents from someone affiliated with the New Yorker magazine. They were discussing the article published by the New Yorker a few days prior. It was a hit piece by the New Yorker using General Milley as a source that Donald wanted to militarily attack Iran and omnipotent General Milley kept OMB from moving forward with the attack. Donald denies everything.

When Don says, "let me see that", in all probability he is not asking for something already in his hands, on his desk or near by. He is asking to see the documents being held by the person he is talking to.

Apparently the document in question exonerates Trump war hawk position against Iran that Milley was accusing him of in the New Yorker article.

Furthermore, Trump saying that this document is classified puts Milley in trouble not Trump. That's why he mentioned the classification status. It was not his document. It was the writers, IMO. It was a copy of the national security information from General Milley used to write the New Yorker magazine hit piece on Trump.

Now I know Trump could clear this up in a second by coming out and saying exactly what happened but there are risk involved with this and he loses leverage in future proceedings if he does clarify the matter now.

Finally the fact that Trump's defense team has indicated that they are ready to go to trial leads me to believe that they want to divulge this info to the court/jury for maximum effect.
