President Donald Trump on Friday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to revive his long-running lawsuit against Hillary Clinton over the 2016 presidential election, the latest chapter in a legal battle that lower courts have repeatedly shut down.
The lawsuit, filed in 2022, alleged that Clinton and her allies conspired to damage Trump's 2016 campaign. Federal courts dismissed the case, but Trump's team is now asking the nation's highest court to take a second look.
The request, reported late Friday, sets up another high-profile legal confrontation involving the president. If the justices decline to hear the case, the lower-court dismissals would stand as the final word.
The move adds to an unusually heavy docket of Trump-related litigation before the Supreme Court, reflecting the president's continued willingness to test the limits of the legal system years after the election at the center of the dispute.
