"Trump's Legal Battle Over Ballot Access and Supreme Court Speculations Intensify"
Donald Trump is set to challenge the removal of his name from GOP primary ballots in Colorado and Maine, decisions made under the 14th Amendment's ban on insurrectionists holding office due to his alleged role in the January 6 Capitol riot. His team will file a challenge in Maine state court and the US Supreme Court against Colorado's decision. Meanwhile, Special Counsel Jack Smith argues against Trump's claim of immunity from prosecution for actions taken while president. In other news, Nikki Haley stated she would pardon Trump if convicted of crimes and elected president, and former GOP lawmaker Adam Kinzinger made claims about Trump's personal odor. Trump may also testify in a defamation damages trial related to sexual abuse allegations by E. Jean Carroll.
