Washington | Former president Donald Trump asked the US Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that would bar him from the presidential ballot in Colorado, setting up a historic showdown over whether his role in the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol disqualifies him from office.
Mr Trump urged the high court in an appeal filed on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) to declare that he did not take part in an insurrection by trying to overturn his 2020 election loss, a push that culminated with the assault on the US Capitol.
