Claim 3: “Trump aides fear Haberman and Swan obtained Situation Room tapes for "Regime Change"”

MISLEADING

The evidence indicates that Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan wrote a book titled 'Regime Change' which discusses Trump aides' fears regarding leaks of Jeffrey Epstein files and meetings held in the Situation Room. However, the claim that they obtained 'Situation Room tapes' is not explicitly supported; the evidence says they 'reconstructed the scene in granular detail' and reported on the meetings, not that they possessed audio recordings of the room.
