    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    He just says whatever the fuck he wants, and he loves to shock people,” Pratt, a businessman with a reported net worth of $9 billion, said of Trump.

    Pratt is listed as a potential witness to testify against Trump in a case brought by special counsel Jack Smith regarding his mishandling of classified information, and he reportedly shared information with prosecutors about Trump revealing to him sensitive intelligence regarding U.S. nuclear submarines, including how many warheads the subs usually carry and how close they could get to Russian submarines before they are detected.

    Pratt also bragged on tape that Trump shared with him some of the contents of a private conversation with then-president of Iraq Barham Salih.

    Former National Security Advisor John Bolton told 60 Minutes Australia that the conversations Pratt described are “typical Trump behavior” and said that announcements of military operations are usually delayed “so that we can be sure that those who carried it out are back safe home.”

    In the recordings, Pratt said Trump told him, “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.”

    Pratt, a member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, courted Trump to garner influence, even paying an inflated cost of $1 million on tickets to a the Palm Beach club’s New Year’s Eve gala — far above the actual $50,000 cost per ticket, a witness told prosecutors, according to The New York Times.
