(FILES) In this file photo taken on September 03, 2022, former US President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally in support of Doug Mastriano for Governor of Pennsylvania and Mehmet Oz for US Senate at Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. - Trump said he expects to be "arrested" on March 21, 2023, over hush money allegedly paid to a porn star before the 2016 election and urged Americans to protest. Citing a "leak" from the Manhattan district attorney's office, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on March 18, 2023: "Leading Republican candidate & former President of the United States of America will be arrested on Tuesday of next week. Protest, take our nation back!" (Photo by Ed JONES / AFP) Foto: Ed Jones/Ritzau Scanpix
I weekenden skrev Donald Trump sig igen ind på alle sendeflader, da han pludselig meddelte, at han vil blive anholdt i en sag, der strækker sig 17 år tilbage. Dengang mødte han en pornostjerne til en celebrity-golfturnering, og de endte på Trumps hotelværelse. Han mener, at retssagen er politisk motiveret og har opfordret amerikanerne til at protestere mod den. I dette afsnit af ’Du lytter til Politiken’ fortæller Politikens USA-korrespondent Philip Flores om sagen, og hvordan den har fået mange til at frygte, at Trumps tilhængere vil gøre noget, der ligner angrebet på Capitol-bygningen i 2021.
