Former US president Donald Trump allegedly shared potentially sensitive information about US nuclear submarines with Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, who allegedly then shared the information with dozens of others.

Pratt allegedly gleaned the information from Trump in April 2021, and shared it with “at least 45 others”, including “six journalists” and “three former Australian prime ministers”.

The cardboard billionaire — who is a major donor to Australia’s major political parties — also allegedly shared the information with “10 Australian officials” as well as “11 of his company’s employees”.
