US: Trump appeals Maine verdict disqualifying him from ballot under insurrection clause

Former US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (local time) appealed a ruling by Maine's Secretary of State Shenna Bellows that barred him from the state ballot under the 'insurrection clause' of the US Constitution over his role in instigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. He is also expected to ask the US Supreme Court to rule on his eligibility to return to the White House related in a related case in Colorado.
