Australia's former high commissioner wrote a three-page cable
to the United States about his London meeting with a Trump
campaign adviser.
A senior Australian diplomat has said the government is
"now ready to confirm" a series of events in 2016 between
the country's high commissioner to the UK and a Trump
campaign adviser, which led to US authorities investigating
Donald Trump's links with Russia.
The London meeting between former high commissioner Alexander
Downer and Trump adviser George Papadopoulos was first
reported by the New York Times in December 2017, reportedly
revealing how Downer had been told by Papadopoulos that
Russia had political dirt on Hillary Clinton.
