Former President Donald Trump allegedly discussed sensitive information about U.S. nuclear submarines with an Australian billionaire member of his Mar-a-Lago Club, who then shared the information with numerous individuals, including foreign officials and journalists. The disclosure was reported to special counsel Jack Smith's team during their investigation into Trump's alleged hoarding of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. The information, which included the number of nuclear warheads carried by U.S. submarines and their ability to approach Russian submarines undetected, was relayed by the billionaire, Anthony Pratt, to at least 45 people.
