Donald Trump’s impending arrest: The story behind the publicity stunt

Donald Trump is back in the spotlight again, after announcing he's going to be arrested based on charges stemming from a 2016 investigation into a payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

So, are we all falling victim to the Trump hype machine?

In this episode, we speak to David Smith, from the US Studies Centre at Sydney University, to find out more about the Stormy Daniels case.
