This is actually a part of Biden's presidency instituted to allow the Qatari pilots to train on the F-15s they are receiving as a part of a $12B sale. It's certainly possible Trump and Hesgeth have made it worse, but more likely they're just taking credit.

It's called a clip for a reason it is not a recording of the entire conversation it is a clip and I'm sure there are multiple clips that show them saying different things it doesn't mean that they're manufactured
