Foreign Minister Penny Wong has responded to the document, relating to an 'important' intelligence-sharing alliance of which Australia is a member, that was allegedly found on the floor of a storage room at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
The criminal charges stem from his treatment of sensitive government materials he took with him when he left the White House.
Mr Trump, who denies wrongdoing and has labelled the investigation politically motivated, is accused of mishandling classified documents that include information about the secretive US nuclear program and potential domestic vulnerabilities in the event of an attack.Former US president Donald Trump faces 37 federal criminal charges that stem from his treatment of sensitive government materials he took with him when he left the White House in January 2021.
When asked about the Five Eyes document alleged to have been found at Mr Trump's resort, Foreign Minister Penny Wong on Saturday said the Five Eyes intelligence alliance was "important" but would not comment further. On one of these occasions, he is said to have showed and described a “plan of attack” that was prepared for him by the US defence department and a senior military official to a writer, publisher, and two staff members, none of whom possessed a security clearance.
