Donald Trump rallied in New Hampshire on Monday, and compared himself to South African civil rights icon Nelson Mandela as he faces several criminal investigations into his conduct.

Meanwhile, Rolling Stone reported that Mr Trump plans to fully withdraw the US from Nato should he take power in 2025.

The ex-president’s apparent comments about Melania Trump and classified government information have also come to light in newly-leaked audio.

A trove of secret recordings of Australian Billionaire Anthony Pratt speaking about his interactions with Mr Trump was obtained by 60 Minutes Australia in a joint investigation with The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, and also shared with The New York Times.

In one clip, the Mar-a-Lago member claims Mr Trump told Melania to walk around the Palm Beach club in a bikini to show his friends “what they were missing”.
