"Legal Battles Over Trump's Ballot Eligibility Spark Chaos and Controversy"

Donald Trump's legal team has submitted a 59-page brief to the Supreme Court, arguing for his eligibility to remain on the 2024 ballot and denying that his actions led to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. The brief contends that removing him from the ballot would disenfranchise millions of Americans and cause chaos. The case is scheduled to be heard on Feb. 8, and Trump's lawyers have made various legal arguments, including technical claims about the 14th Amendment's insurrection provision. A flood of friend-of-the-court briefs has been filed, with Republican-aligned groups backing Trump's efforts, while others urge the court to decide the matter ahead of the general election for finality.
