Months after leaving the White House, former President Donald Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about U.S. nuclear submarines with a member of his Mar-a-Lago Club -- an Australian billionaire who then allegedly shared the information with scores of others, including more than a dozen foreign officials, several of his own employees, and a handful of journalists, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The potential disclosure was reported to special counsel Jack Smith's team as they investigated Trump's alleged hoarding of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, the sources told ABC News. The information could shed further light on Trump's handling of sensitive government secrets.

Prosecutors and FBI agents have at least twice this year interviewed the Mar-a-Lago member, Anthony Pratt, who runs U.S.-based Pratt Industries, one of the world's largest packaging companies.

In those interviews, Pratt described how -- looking to make conversation with Trump during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago in April 2021 -- he brought up the American submarine fleet, which the two had discussed before, the sources told ABC News.

According to Pratt's account, as described by the sources, Pratt told Trump he believed Australia should start buying its submarines from the United States, to which an excited Trump -- "leaning" toward Pratt as if to be discreet -- then told Pratt two pieces of information about U.S. submarines: the supposed exact number of nuclear warheads they routinely carry, and exactly how close they supposedly can get to a Russian submarine without being detected.

In emails and conversations after meeting with Trump, Pratt described Trump's remarks to at least 45 others, including six journalists, 11 of his company's employees, 10 Australian officials, and three former Australian prime ministers, the sources told ABC News.

While Pratt told investigators he couldnt tell if what Trump said about U.S. submarines was real or just bluster, investigators nevertheless asked Pratt not to repeat the numbers that Trump allegedly told him, suggesting the information could be too sensitive to relay further, ABC News was told.

It's unclear if the information was accurate, but the episode was investigated by Smith's team.

Sources said another witness, one of Trump's former employees at Mar-a-Lago, told investigators that, within minutes of Pratt's meeting with Trump, he heard Pratt relaying to someone else some of what Trump had just said.

According to the sources, the former Mar-a-Lago employee also told investigators he was "bothered" and "shocked" to hear that the former president had provided such seemingly sensitive information to a non-U.S. citizen.

I believe it. He's an arrogant shitstain who will do anything to make himself the center of attention, he's never been told no or faced real consequences, and he hoarded reams and reams of classified data after he left office. (And no, chuds. Crossing his arms and blinking like I Dream of Jeannie doesn't declassify, sorry.)

That's where I'm putting my money. He'll get house arrest at Mar-a-Lago with an allowance to travel to his other properties and to leave his residence for ~60 a week for "work". Basically the Epstein treatment.

He should be locked up in isolation for the rest of his life. He's such a security risk, he can't be trusted around anyone.

Every piece of classified information given to Trump during his term in office must be assumed to be in enemy hands.

"Greatest Security Risk of All Time" is one of Trump's many titles, after all.

I am of the belief that even if he is found guilty of the worst of charges, the worst that will happen to him is permanent house arrest at Mar-a-Lago. He wont be allowed to leave the property until hes dead.

if Trump is actually convicted and sentenced to time it would never be in a regular prison or any of his residences, he'd be put into witness protection with no outside communication.

other countries like china/russia/etc would break him out if the MAGA army didn't get to him first if they knew where he was.

Probably not? Like, the NYT can publish leaked documents legally. It's only illegal for the initial leaker, in this case Trump.

I don't think he even had the capacity to think that far ahead. Even back on Nov 8, 2016 when this video was taken.

But maybe. Just MAYBE Donald knew he was a marked man when he realized he had actually won tye US presidency.

Maybe they (the aliens) threatened him with forcibly ripping off his dick if he were to ever blab about it.

They have mind-reading powers to determine what each POTUS holds most dear, and that's what they used to control him.

Exactly she definitely didn't want it and I fully believe neither did Trump. He did it for publicity and likely was expecting to lose the primaries and he would claim he was cheated somehow and grift money and attention off of it for years. Melania was happy being a trophy wife living the highlife, she didn't want thr 24/7 attention and scrutiny. People talk about Trump's affairs, there's no way in hell she wasn't getting some on the side. The rumor was Barron's tutor if I recall.

Trump himself knows his businesses are crooked to the bone with half assed methods of covering the misdeeds. Winning the primaries and then the Presidency would be a super microscope on everything you do and did. He unfortunately tapped into something and ran against a bunch of clowns in the Republican primary, then faced off against the one person he could beat.

I hope he, his adult children and his businesses get wrecked by all these trials. I hope he gets sequestered away in some obscure hole where he's cut off from the outside world. Even if it's some ranch or private property where he can't communicate with the outside world it would be a huge win.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were dozens more stories like this, including a number of people from different countries. We all know how much Trump likes to talk and show off. I wouldn't be surprised if he did this more than just a few times. He had those documents for a while.

I also wouldn't be surprised if he was literally the largest security leak the US has ever seen.
