Court puts hold on Trump election ban

 Maine's Superior Court has put on hold a decision to bar former President Donald Trump from the state's primary. The hold will allow time for the Supreme Court to rule on a similar case in Colorado. Both states removed Trump from their primary ballots based on a reading of a constitutional provision that bars insurrectionists from holding office. Trump appealed Colorado's decision. The Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments on Feb. 8.
