How Donald Trumped The Supreme Court

BBC News
About this episode

Today, we look at the US Supreme Court’s decision that Trump was wrongly removed from Colorado primary ballot.

Colorado barred Trump from the state's ballot in December arguing the former president incited the 2021 Capitol riot. The decision all but ends efforts in other states to ban him from ballots. With a healthy poll lead, does this secure Donald Trump’s path to challenge for the presidency? Adam speaks to BBC US Special Correspondent Katty Kay.

And HMP Chief Inspector of Prisons, Charlie Taylor joins Adam to talk about the problems facing the UK prison system alongside BBC home and legal correspondent Dominic Casciani and host of the Life After Prison podcast, Jules Rowan.
