Sources who spoke with a leading legacy news outlet have conveyed information that will not be well-received by Democrats and former President Donald Trump’s detractors.
CBS News’ Catherine Herridge reports there is no evidence to suggest that former President Donald Trump shared nuclear secrets with an Australian. Also, the sources said that special counsel Jack Smith has yet to file any charges related to the alleged illegal sharing of such information by Trump.
“Sources tell CBS News there is no indication former President Trump shared sensitive records with an Australian billionaire + no charges have been filed by the Special Counsel through their alleged discussion about US Nuclear subs was investigated,” CBS’s Catherine Herridge posted on X, formerly Twitter.
Her post came after CBS News reported earlier that Trump allegedly talked about sensitive information regarding U.S. Navy nuclear submarines with Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt.
The report said that Pratt has been named as a potential witness in Smith’s classified documents case against Trump, sources confirmed. Pratt has not been accused of wrongdoing; Trump has called reports regarding his alleged conversations with Pratt “false and ridiculous.”
“I will often state that we make the best Submarines and Military Equipment anywhere in the World — A pretty well-known fact,” Trump wrote on his social media site, Truth Social. “These fake stories are put out by corrupt prosecutors trying to interfere with the Presidential Election of 2024.”
Meanwhile, the federal judge overseeing Trump’s classified documents case in south Florida chastised Smith and his prosecutors for failing to provide “timely” access to evidence materials to Trump’s legal team.
Smith had asked for a safe place to keep the files in Washington, D.C., which was nearly 1,000 miles away from the court in southern Florida where the case was filed.
“The parties are advised that production of classified discovery to defense counsel is deemed timely upon placement in an accredited facility in the Southern District of Florida, not in another federal district,” Cannon wrote in her order.
