It’s the final Christmas in the White House for the Trump family, although the president continues to insist — despite evidence to the contrary — that he won the Nov. 3 election.
The recording of the July 2018 conversation was made and released to CNN by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who was fired from the White House earlier that year.
A few miles north of the White House, the wrapping also came off the Christmas decorations at Vice President Mike Pence's official residence on the grounds of the Naval Observatory.
