Son Eric Trump, the Trump Organization executive Vice President, has promised in TV appearances that the footage will be published "at the right time," but a source told CNN that Donald Trump might not have even seen it in full yet.
"I don't think it's been shared by anyone outside of the attorneys," the source told CNN.
Allies of Trump calling for the release of the footage have suggested he might use the recordings in campaign ads for a potential 2024 presidential run, virtually showing Americans a feasible example of his claims of political persecution, according to CNN.

"I don't see how that helps him."

"If someone can persuade him this is somehow good for him and bad for his enemies, he’ll do it," former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb told CNN about a potential footage release.
