Papadopoulos, according to the New York Times, told Downer over gin and tonics at the Kensington Wine Rooms he was told Russia had political dirt on Trump's presidential rival, Hillary Clinton.

Downer later told The Australian newspaper Papadopoulos mentioned at the drinks ''the Russians might use material that they have on Hillary Clinton in the lead-up to the election, which may be damaging'.

Downer said he passed the highly-sensitive information back to Canberra "the following day or a day or two'.

How the information was then transferred to the FBI or US intelligence agencies is not clear.

Papadopoulos, however, says he has no memory of saying it to Downer.

He has called out Australia and Britain for setting him up.

He repeated it after Trump's statement on Friday.

''After reports are finally out that the British and Australian governments were actively spying and trying to sabotage the Trump campaign, those two governments called the president to ask for him not to declassify any FISA documents,' Papadopoulos wrote on Twitter.

''Strange.'
