Remember those mysterious, cloak-and-dagger park bench trysts in Oliver Stone's JFK? Now replace Donald Sutherland's collar-popped whistleblower with '00s electronic musician Moby.

It seems the superstar DJ, famous for the 1999 chart-topping album Play, is Washington DC's most unlikely secret intelligence expert.

In a post on his Facebook yesterday, the Grammy-nominated resistance fighter, I mean, musician – real name Richard Melville Hall – said he'd spent the weekend "talking to friends who work in DC" and could "accurately" post inside information about the anxiety-inducing hellmouth that is Donald Trump's presidency.

I'd always imagined Kanye would be the Machiavellian DC celebrity insider, but this will do.
