Former President Donald Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about US nuclear submarines with a member of his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, following his presidency, ABC reported Thursday.

Sources told ABC that the member is Anthony Pratt, an Australian billionaire who allegedly went on to share the information he received from the former president during an April 2021 meeting with “more than a dozen foreign officials, several of his own employees, and a handful of journalists.”

ABC also reported that according to sources, a former Mar-a-Lago employee told investigations that he was “bothered” by the former president disclosing such information to someone who is not a US citizen. He added that he heard Pratt sharing potentially sensitive information minutes after his meeting with the former president, sources told ABC.

These allegations were not included in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump over his handling of classified documents. But the incident was reported to and investigated by Smith’s team, according to ABC.

A Trump spokesperson slammed ABC’s report, telling CNN that the claims “lack proper context and relevant information.”
“The Department of Justice should investigate the criminal leaking, instead of perpetrating their baseless witch-hunts while knowing that President Trump did nothing wrong, has always insisted on truth and transparency, and acted in a proper manner, according to the law,” the spokesperson said.

CNN has reached out to Pratt and the special counsel’s office for comment.

Pratt allegedly told investigators that after he told Trump that Australia should buy submarines from the US, the former president went on to share how many nuclear warheads US submarines carry and “how close they can get to a Russian submarine without being detected,” sources told ABC. But Pratt told investigators that he was not shown any government documents, the sources said.

CNN previously obtained an audio of a July 2021 meeting Trump had in his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club, during which the former president acknowledged that he held on to a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran. The audio, exclusively reported by CNN, was a critical piece of evidence in the special counsel’s indictment.

Trump is facing 40 counts in the classified documents case, including willful retention of national defense information and conspiracy to obstruct justice. It is one of four cases in which the former president has been indicted.

Trump, who is seeking to return to the White House and remains the GOP front-runner, asked the judge presiding over the case late Wednesday to delay the trial until after the 2024 elections. A similar request was previously denied.

I heard about this and thought, no,, can't be. He couldn't possibly be that stupid.. Yeah, well. So much for that thought.

I am not the least bit surprised. No one should be surprised.

Trump probably just made something up and used terms like bigly and covfefe and mentioned they could "get as close as I get with... adult entertainers." *sigh* I'm not sure if that would make it better or worse.

Why!?!? Why would anyone vote for that man?

we can only hope.. As to why someone would vote for him, I just don't know.

Sad, we can only guess what other National secrets he’s been sharing with god knows who. The total damage this man has done to our country will not be known in our lifetimes. It’s safe to say there are no aliens from outer space being held at Area 51 or anywhere else or trump would be be blabbering about how Biden is holding them captive.

I certainly wouldn't put something like this past him but I'm going to have to see a little bit more meat on this bone to come to the conclusion he did this.

I believe that the investigation into this will be part of the documents case in Florida. So we will get to see if there is more meat on the bone. Just a guess, but I bet there is.

This guy is out here sharing nuke secrets with Aussies. Meanwhile, I have to disclose in detail every time I step foot off a cruise ship to buy a souvenir.

Yes, but you aren't the great and powerful Oz. He gets a kitchen pass, right?

Those that write the rules see two kinds of people: the controllers and the controlled. Sadly, the position he held is seen as the former. And, it's sadder that he was in that position, as if the position being seen that way wasn't bad enough.

Giving trump the benefit of doubt has been this country’s downfall so far.

I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt. I've known who he is all along. I'm just not one who is going to jump to conclusions myself. Once I begin doing that I'm no different than those that buy into every crazy conspiracy theory they hear simply out of conformation bias.

Mind as well put it here.

Trump admits various people saw the documents that he took from the White House when he left. His reasoning, he can take what ever he wants.

Admitting your crimes out loud in public is not generally considered a good idea. Unless of course you know you're supporters don't give a damn what you've done.

Yep he admits the crime, claims he had the right to break the law, tells MAGA he’s being railroaded, setup by Biden, and makes himself out the victim as usual. I’ll be happy the day he leaves the planet. I can’t stand this mfer.

Well you aren’t in a minority with those feelings. Most of the world can’t stand him. Yet here we are with a minority MAGA idiots controlling the majority. You know like present day Russia or WW1 and WW2 Germany.
