An attorney for Donald Trump says that his supporters should not be made to believe that he has legal problems, following a decision to have the former president’s name taken off the Republican ballot in Maine.

Christina Bobb accused opponents of the former president of putting out “propaganda” to harm his 2024 presidential run.

It comes after Mr Trump was removed from the ballot in Colorado last month, under the 14th Amendment’s ban on insurrectionists holding public office. The decision to also block him from the ballot in Maine was handed down on Thursday by state secretary Shenna Bellows.

Speaking to Newsmax on Sunday, Ms Bobb suggested that Ms Bellows be impeached for her decision, and accused her of election interference.

    Threats against Jack Smith get less publicity because he’s a well-off white man who isn’t a democratic politician.

      Possibly also because one case he’s working on has to do with Trump provoking violence on Jan 6, so all the death threats aren’t doing Trump any favors there.

          They seem to understand nuance well enough when willfully ignoring it to make bad faith comparisons.

          Otherwise, true.
