Australian businessman Anthony Pratt forged a close relationship with former President Donald Trump during Trump's time in office, cultivating ties through donations, flattery, and business opportunities. Pratt told prosecutors that Trump had improperly shared classified details with him about U.S. nuclear submarines as part of the investigation into Trump's mishandling of classified documents after leaving office. Private recordings capture Pratt speaking admiringly of Trump's willingness to test legal boundaries while also describing his business practices as "like the mafia."
