The Supreme Court on Thursday will hear former President Donald Trump's appeal to remain on the 2024 ballot, the justices' most consequential election case since Bush v Gore in 2000. The court will weigh arguments over whether Trump is disqualified from running for the White House again because of his efforts to delegitimise and overturn the 2020 election result, a saga that came to a head with the attack on the US Capitol by a horde of Trump supporters on January 6 2021. The case marks the first time the justices will be considering Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, a constitutional provision ...

A US court ruled on Tuesday that Donald Trump be tried on charges he plotted to overturn the 2020 election results, rejecting his claim he was immune from prosecution. The federal appeals panel's decision marks the second time in as many months that judges have spurned Trump's immunity arguments. The court deemed the former US president can be prosecuted for actions he undertook while in the White House and in the run-up to January 6, 2021, when a mob of his supporters stormed the US Capitol. But the move also sets the stage for additional appeals from the Republican ex-leader that could reach...

Saturday marks the third anniversary of the Capitol riot in Washington DC, a day President Joe Biden calls the day “we nearly lost America”. The Capitol riot saw a mob of Trump supporters overrun the iconic building on 6 January 2021. Fueled by Trump’s false claims of a stolen vote in the 2020 US Presidential election, more than 2,000 people assaulted police and smashed their way into the Capitol. They interrupted the certification of Democrat victory - forcing politicians, busy counting Electoral College votes that certified Joe Biden's win into hiding. Most of the rioters had come from a nea...

Maine ruled on Thursday that Donald Trump cannot run for president next year in the state. Trump was barred from the ballet by Marine's Secretary of State Shenna Bellows because of his actions leading up to the 2021 US Capitol Riot. Maine joins Colorado - which also cited the insurrection cause - as the second state to disqualify the former US president. Both decisions are on hold while the legal process plays out. While Colorado consistently votes Democratic, the split between Democrat and Republican is closer in Maine, meaning it would be a notable loss for Trump. “I do not reach this conclu...

Former First Lady Melania Trump, who famously didn’t make any comments condemning the Capitol Riots until almost a week afterward, made the dubious claim on Fox News Thursday that she wasn’t even aware of them while they were happening. When the riots broke out, which began as a protest against the 2020 Presidential election results, Melania was “fulfilling one of my duties as First Lady of the United States of America, and accordingly, I was unaware of what was simultaneously transpiring at the U.S. Capitol Building.” She argued that she was busy “taking archival photographs of all the renova...

Pete Aguilar (D-California), adding that a confidential informant from the Proud Boys told the FBI that “anyone they got their hands on they would’ve killed,...
