Among the most explosive allegations in the ongoing indictments of former President Donald Trump is that he shared state secrets with Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt. The Australian news program 60 Minutes reported this weekend on audio recordings it obtained that revealed Pratt’s “extraordinary dealings” with the former president. 

Pratt, Australia’s third-richest person, allegedly learned state secrets about the U.S. military’s nuclear submarines from the former president, as ABC News first reported earlier this month, citing unnamed sources. Trump has refuted the allegations, posting on Truth Social over the weekend that his conversations with the “red haired weirdo from Australia” centered on “creating jobs in Ohio and Pennsylvania.”
