if you were in that room, what kind of questions would you be asking anthony pratt? >> wow, you know, you obviously want to establish with as much granular detail exactly how that interaction took place, whether they were, when it happened, who might have been around them, who might have been standing with the former president. the details of everything that he said, questions that pratt may have asked or what his reaction was to the things that he heard the president say. then you would want to move on to find out who did he first speak to after hearing that information. we know from at least one former mar-a-lago employee overheard pratt then relaying that information to another person. so, you literally have to track the chain of disclosure here from pratt to all of those 45 people. then you're investigating all of those 45 people to find out who they told. it's just -- it becomes an incredibly burdensome investigation but one that's essential to pursue. >> and apparently pratt is on the list of people who could be called at trial. we'll see if that does ultimatel

" is reporting tonight now after that abc reporting came out that jack smith wants to speak to anthony pratt. this billionaire. what do you make of it? >> so, it is an extraordinary set of facts because right now, president trump is only being charged were retention of national defense information, classified information. he is not being charged with dissim nating it to others. this is desisseminating it to a foreign national. it's just extraordinary. you would think he would be charged for it. but he hasn't been and i think maybe that could be because the intelligence community would be very reluctant to have this information come into a public trial and expose something about u.s. nuclear submarines. that said, because of the reporting, it creates this puzzle. if indeed pratt is on the witness list -- >> to testify. they have to be clear the doj has interviewed him twice but this puts him on a witness list. >> right. so that is bringing the information into the public trial. so what is it? it might just be they don't want to bring it in as a charge because you have to prove it beyond a rea

that guy there is somebody named anthony pratt, and he's a member of mar-a-lago.ned 2017 i think. and according to pratt, one night down at the club, the former president started blabbing our national secrets after pratt told trump he believed australia should start buying its submarines from the united states. okay? trump was just sealing the deal, okay? following the old sales mantra a-b-c. always be compromising national security. okay? it's all in the book. allegedly, trump told pratt two highly classified submarine secrets: the exact number of nuclear warheads the subs carry, and exactly how close they can get to a russian submarine without being detected. okay, that's not right. you can't just give away our classified secrets without trading for some of australia's classified secrets. like how they make the bloomin' onion! i don't -- each petal is perfectly fried. why doesn't it clump? why doesn't it clump? of course, authorities were afraid that pratt might have told someone else. but he didn't. he didn't tell someone else. he told some-45-else. now that so

member, australian billionaire and adult ron weasley that police divers pulled from the river, anthony prattrns out, submarines were just a tiny part of what trump blabbed to pratt about, as we learned this weekend from "60 minutes" australia. it's like american "60 minutes," except the stopwatch goes the other way and it's hosted by crocodile stahl. aussie "60 minutes" acquired secret recordings of pratt in which he reveals that trump also shared national security secrets while he was still president. in 2020, trump told his billionaire buddy about a military strike in iraq before america found out. >> i hadn't even heard it. it hadn't even been on the news yet and he said, "i just bombed iraq today." >> stephen: that was a top-secret mission. what was it like in the white house war room?
