One billboard reads 'Trump Is Not Above the Law'. Another quotes Fox News host Tucker Carlson's private text message about Trump, made public in court filings, which quotes Carlson: 'I hate [Trump] passionately'. The billboards were funded by donations from MoveOn members. Photograph: Jason Koerner/Getty Images
