On a segment of 60 Minutes Australia, leaked audio recordings have been introduced, presenting comments made by the former US President Donald Trump about his wife, Melania Trump. These audio clips were provided by Australian billionaire donor Anthony Pratt.
Within the recordings, Pratt recounts a statement from Donald Trump: “I asked Melania to walk around the pool in a bikini so all the other guys could see what they were missing.” Responding to this, Melania Trump allegedly said she would if he did the same. The exact date of these recordings is unknown, but they seem to have been made at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida prior to his presidency.
Donald Trump has not commented on the remarks made about Melania in these recordings. But he has denied the claims brought forth by them. Through his Truth Social media platform, he termed Pratt’s tales as “fake news.” In a more direct statement, he called Pratt a “red-haired weirdo.”
It’s important to highlight that this is not the first time leaked recordings featuring Donald Trump’s voice have come to the forefront. However, this particular event emphasizes personal accounts shared by Pratt. The Australian billionaire has shared Trump’s comments about Melania among other significant remarks.
In other parts of the leaked audio, Pratt talks about Trump discussing classified data on American nuclear submarines. He also mentions specific dialogues with the Ukrainian president. Such revelations have given rise to further discussions on Trump’s discretion and choices in casual environments.
After the release of the audio recordings, various reactions have emerged from media groups and the general population. While Trump has firmly denied certain claims, he still hasn’t addressed all the issues presented in the leaked content.
