Trump vid domstolen: Ett angrepp på Amerika

Trump vid domstolen: Ett angrepp på Amerika

Under måndagen inleddes den första brottmålsrättegången mot en tidigare president i USA någonsin: den delstatsprocess i New York där Trump står åtalad på 34 punkter för bland annat bokföringsbrott.

Trump, som sannolikt blir Republikanernas kandidat i presidentvalet, talade kort inför journalister innan han gick in i rättssalen:

– Något liknande har aldrig hänt tidigare, sade han, och hävdade att det "inte finns något fall". Juryn ska väljas Rättegången startade runt klockan 16 svensk tid, vilket är under förmiddagen i New York.

Under dagen kommer urvalet av jury i fallet att inledas.

Anklagelserna mot honom rör främst händelser under valrörelsen 2016, det vill säga innan Trump blev president.

I fokus står utbetalningar till porrskådespelerskan Stephanie Clifford (Stormy Daniels) och Playboymodellen Karen McDougal på 130 000 respektive 150 000 dollar för att de skulle hålla tyst om utomäktenskapliga relationer med Trump. Pengar ska också ha gått till en dörrvakt i fastigheten Trump Tower, som sade sig ha information om ett utomäktenskapligt barn.

ANALYS: Så kan Brandberg vinna på banantramset

ANALYS: Så kan Brandberg vinna på banantramset

Mot dumheten kämpar även gudarna förgäves, brukade min gamla farmor säga. Fördumningen av medierapporteringen kring bananerna är möjligen ett bevis för att hon hade rätt. Jag är journalist – jag inser fnissvärdet i storyn. Det är knasigt, det är skojigt och det är en snackis. Något man pratar om i fikarummet. För varje toppolitiker som uttalar sig i frågan växer dessutom historien. Vissa av dem pratar naturligtvis hellre om bananer – än om riktiga problem. Jämställdhetsministern lider likt tiotusentals andra svenskar av en fobi. Paulina Brandbergs fobi är bananer. Hon är rädd för dem. Vill inte se dem, än mindre äta dem. Hon har en sjuklig rädsla för bananer helt enkelt. Naturligtvis bara trams Det mindre mediadrevet om bananerna började med att SVT:s humorprogram Svenska Nyheter uppmärksammade jämställdhetsminister Paulina Brandbergs fobi mot bananer. Efter det snappade Expressen upp storyn, och grävde vidare. Efter att ha begärt ut dokument från regeringskansliet kunde tidningen avslöja hur personal tvingas ”banansäkra” lokaler som jämställdhetsministern skall besöka. Vid en resa till New York tvingades assistenten till en funktionshindrad åka 46 trappor för att banansäkra ett rum. Riktig fart tog det när Socialdemokraternas rättspolitiska talesperson Teresa Carvalho uttalade stöd för sin politiska motståndare, och erkände att också hon led av bananfobi. En stund senare rapporterades det om att finansminister Svantesson rasade mot medierapporteringen, och även Liberalernas partiledare Johan Pehrson uttalade stöd för sin partikamrat. Rapporteringen har pågått i några dygn och har eskalerat under torsdagen. Men allt är naturligtvis bara trams. Brandberg kan vinna Det finns ingen politisk konflikt. Ingen från oppositionen har riktat saklig kritik mot ministern. Tvärtom verkar de ense om att fobi mot bananer är jobbigt. Det finns ingen redaktion som publicerat några belägg för att fobin påverkat ministerns förmåga att utföra sitt yrke. Det finns heller inga belägg för att det är Paulina Brandberg som personligen instruerat någon att banansäkra rum. Det är mer troligt en ambitiös medarbetare. Under dagen har Paulina Brandberg lagt locket på och svarar inte på frågor om bananer från media. Hon vill gissningsvis hellre prata om vad hon vill göra åt hedersförtrycket, och hur hon tänker bekämpa mäns våld mot kvinnor. Mot politiken finns naturligtvis relevant kritik att rikta och frågor att ställa – i stället handlar allt i dag om bananer. Men möjligen kan Brandberg i längden vinna på skriverierna. Förre vänsterledaren Gudrun Schyman gick efter ett antal skriverier på 90-talet tillslut ut och berättade om sin alkoholism. Schyman blev folklig. Fobier och annan psykisk ohälsa är likt alkoholism sannerligen inget att leka med för de som drabbas. Många vet hur jobbigt det är. Genom att berätta om personliga svagheter som många kan relatera till kan politiker uppfattas som mänskliga. Möjligen kan Paulina Brandberg vinna förtroende genom att berätta om sin svaghet.

Donald Trump har anlänt till Vita huset – lovar en smidig övergång

Donald Trump har anlänt till Vita huset – lovar en smidig övergång

I det Ovala rummet skakade de hand, den nyinvalde presidenten Donald Trump och den avgående Joe Biden. – Politik är tufft, och i många fall är det inte en särskilt trevlig värld. I dag är det en trevlig värld, och jag uppskattar det väldigt mycket, säger Trump i samband med handskakningen. Därtill lovade han en smidig övergång. Samtidigt kommer uppgifter från The New York Times om att Trumpadministrationen inte kommer att ge mer stöd till Ukraina. Talmannen för USA:s representanthus Mike Johnson ska ha pratat om detta under ett möte bakom stängda dörrar i dag. Melania nobbade inbjudan Även Melania Trump var bjuden till Vita huset för att träffa Joe och Jill Biden, men tackade nej, skriver CNN. Enligt källor ska anledningen vara ett evenemang kring sin nya bok, där hon ska medverka. Den nobbade inbjudan bryter traditionen efter ett amerikanskt presidentval. Tidigare under dagen sa Donald Trump att han är öppen för att vara president en ytterligare, tredje mandatperiod, vilket inte är tillåtet enligt nuvarande lagstiftning.

CIA-anställd gripen – läckte attackplan

CIA-anställd gripen – läckte attackplan

En CIA-anställd man har gripits i Kambodja, rapporterar amerikanska medier. Mannen anklagas för att ha läckt hemligstämplade dokument om Israels planer på hämndattacker mot Iran tidigare i år. Mannen uppges ha gripits på tisdagen och kommer på torsdagen att ställas inför en domstol på det amerikanska Stillahavsterritoriet Guam, skriver The New York Times. Underrättelsetjänsten CIA har enligt tidningen inte velat kommentera gripandet. Uppgifterna om läckan blev först offentliga den 19 oktober. De topphemliga dokumenten sades då ha läckt till en proiransk Telegramkanal från en avdelning inom USA:s försvarsdepartement.

Veckan efter Trumps triumf

Veckan efter Trumps triumf

▸ Det har gått en vecka sen Donald Trump och Republikanerna vann i rysarvalet i USA. Medan Demokraterna och Kamala Harris slickar sina sår så har Donald Trump satt igång att jobba med vad han vill göra de kommande fyra åren i Vita huset. Bland annat ska han ha ringt till Vladimir Putin och bett honom att inte eskalera kriget i Ukraina - men det är uppgifter som Kreml förnekar. Hur har valresultatet landat? Har Trump ljugit om samtalet med Putin och vad kommer han göra fram till installationen i januari? Gäst: Emelie Svensson, Aftonbladets reporter i New York. Programledare och producent: Jenny Ågren.

Beslut om Trump-straff skjuts upp

Beslut om Trump-straff skjuts upp

I maj fann en domstol i New York Donald Trump skyldig till att ha förfalskat dokument och brutit mot bokföringslagar i samband med utbetalningen av så kallade munkavlepengar till porrstjärnan Stormy Daniels. I ljuset av sommarens HD-beslut, som ger en president utökad rättslig immunitet, har Trumps jurister begärt att domen ska hävas. New York-domaren Juan Merchan skulle ha lämnat besked på tisdagen, men väljer att skjuta upp det till den 19 november. Det är i linje med Trumpsidans yrkanden. De anser att beslutet först ska skjutas upp och att fallet sedan helt ska avskrivas. Trump har i fallet dömts på 34 punkter. Straffpåföljden skulle enligt ursprungsplanen ha meddelats den 26 november, men nu är det oklart om det blir en sådan.

The Sunday Read: ‘Ghosts on the Glacier’

Fifty years ago, eight Americans set off for South America to climb Aconcagua, one of the world’s mightiest mountains. Things quickly went wrong. Two climbers died. Their bodies were left behind.Here is what was certain: A woman from Denver, maybe the most accomplished climber in the group, had last been seen alive on the glacier. A man from Texas, part of the recent Apollo missions to the moon, lay frozen nearby.There were contradictory statements from survivors and a hasty departure. There was a judge who demanded an investigation into possible foul play. There were three years of summit-scratching searches to find and retrieve the bodies.Now, decades later, a camera belonging to one of the deceased climbers has emerged from a receding glacier near the summit and one of mountaineering’s most enduring mysteries has been given air and light.This story was recorded by Audm.
