‘Dangerously close’ to politics of a ‘banana republic’: Andrew Bolt on Trump’s charges

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says American politics are getting “dangerously close” to the “politics of a banana republic”. Former US president Donald Trump’s hush money trial has begun in New York City. It is the first time a US president has faced trial in a criminal court. Mr Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records. “American politics seems to be getting dangerously close to the politics of a banana republic,” Mr Bolt said. “Donald Trump … became the first president who ever faced a criminal court charge.”
