On a recent segment of 60 Minutes, leaked audio recordings surfaced showcasing comments made by former US President Donald Trump concerning his wife, Melania Trump.
The recordings originate from Austrlian billionaire donor Anthony Pratt. Within these audio recordings, Pratt recalls Donald Trump saying, “I asked Melania to walk around the pool in a bikini so all the other guys could get a look at what they were missing.”
In a candid response, Melania Trump allegedly retorted that she would do it when he walked around in a bikini. The exact timing of the recordings remains uncertain, though indications point toward them being made at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate before his presidency.
While Donald Trump has not directly addressed the specific comments about Melania, he has refuted the allegations made in the recordings. On his social media platform, Truth Social, he labeled Pratt’s accounts “fake news.” He also took a more personal approach by referring to Pratt as a “red-haired weirdo.”
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time leaked audio recordings involving Donald Trump have made headlines. However, this incident focuses less on political maneuvers and more on personal anecdotes relayed by Pratt. The Australian billionaire has detailed the former president’s remarks about Melania and other controversial statements.
In other portions of the leaked material, Pratt mentions Trump sharing classified information about American nuclear submarines and specifics of a conversation with the Ukrainian president. This information has raised further questions about Trump’s discretion and decision-making during informal settings.
Pratt’s characterizations of Trump go beyond just these recordings.
The revelations from these audio recordings have stirred reactions from the public and media outlets. While Trump has vehemently denied some of the claims, he has yet to address all the allegations in the leaked content.
