Ruling of the Supreme Court in the USA: Supreme Court clears the way for Trump. Trump is the first former president to be charged with a crime.
He faces four separate lawsuits, two of which relate to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. All nine justices - the six conservatives and the three liberals - said that a single state should not be able to bar a candidate from running for federal office. They warned of the consequences of a nationwide patchwork that would exclude candidates in some states but not others.
