Moby: "Donald Trump is being blackmailed by the Russian government"

He reckons he's got insider information from close friends

Moby's not been subtle when it comes to his views on Donald Trump and his latest comments are his strongest yet.

Posting on Instagram, the New Yorker says he's heard a number of things about the US president from friends who work in Washington D.C.

Firstly, he claims the so-called Russian dossier highlighting the US president's alleged misdoings is "100 per cent real", adding that he is "being blackmailed by the Russian government".

He also wrote that the Trump administration has been in collusion with the Russian government "since day one" and that it is hoping US warships near Iran are attacked to act as "pretense for invasion" of Iran.

"There are right wing plans to get rid of Trump," he adds, name-checking the GOP (the Republican party) and Republican donors the Koch brothers as those intending to do so.

His final point reads: "Intelligence agencies around the world, and here in the US, are horrified by the incompetence of the Trump administration, and are working to present information that will lead to high level firings and, ultimately, impeachment."

Moby's anti-Trump sentiments in the past have included calling him "the worst of the worst" and rejecting to play his inauguration.
