US Supreme Court justices sceptical of Donald Trump’s Colorado ballot ban | BBC News


The Supreme Court has heard arguments in a landmark legal case to decide whether Donald Trump can be on the ballot in November’s election.

The justices were sceptical of Colorado’s decision to disqualify the former president, and asked tough questions of the lawyer from the state.

Colorado’s top court previously ruled Trump was not eligible to be on the ballot because he engaged in insurrection over the US Capitol riot.

Trump is appealing the decision – and his lawyers argued that what happened at the Capitol on 6 January was "a riot, not an insurrection.”
