Trump allegedly discussed sensitive information pertaining to American nuclear submarines with an Australian billionaire at his Mar-a-Lago resort, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Washington — Donald The individual, Anthony Pratt, has been identified as a potential witness in special counsel Jack Smith's case against the former president, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to CBS News. The special counsel charged Trump with 32 counts of the unlawful retention of national defense information after federal investigators found more than 300 documents with classified markings at his Palm Beach estate after he left office.
At least some of Trump's discussions with Pratt about the capabilities of U.S. nuclear submarines occurred while Trump was president, at a time when Australia was still under contract to purchase French submarines, according to one person familiar with the matter. Pratt was not sure about the veracity of Trump's comments, the person said, and the billionaire later recounted the story as an anecdote about the former president's desire to tout American military products as paramount.
