The australian government itself has confirmed this information: “The australian government has always been ready to assist and co-operate to help to shed light on the facts that are the subject of an investigation. The Prime minister has once again confirmed this commitment in a declaration with the president,” said a spokesperson through a press release, quoted by the HuffPost.
A request of the attorney general
as a reminder, these are the intelligence services of australians who were alerted to the first by the FBI on suspicions of interference by the russians in the campaign of 2016. The attorney Robert Mueller was published last April its report on the case, and rejected all interference in Russian in favour of Donald Trump in the presidential election. Despite this report, which has interfered in the beginning of the presidency, Trump, the attorney general William Barr wanted to focus on the origins of these revelations.

It was then that Donald Trump has contacted his australian counterpart, and ask him to help in the investigation. According to the New York Times, this exchange, since classified, would be following a specific request of the attorney general to the american president.
