The New York Times has confirmed that Trump shared US-protected secrets with an Australian businessman, a member of Mar-a-Lago, who in turn went on to boast about it to his friends. That’s how special counsel Jack Smith learned of the transgression while investigating Trump’s handling of classified documents.

These details would be ‘highly protected information’ and could endanger the U.S. nuclear fleet if made public, according to experts.

The former president reportedly revealed the supposed number of nuclear warheads that are on board U.S. submarines at any time and how close the vessels can get to a Russian submarine without detection.
