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.

    I’m not sure what words you’re advocating for. All of these are slurs, for example:

    • Idiotic
    • Moronic
    • Stupid
    • Imbecilic
    • Ignorant

    And so on, because slur means insult.

      What a disingenuous argument… one of these things is not like the others.

      We do not live in a black and white world. Certain words are far more hurtful and damaging than others. Calling somebody a big dumb poopy face isn’t nearly as bad as pulling out racist or antisemitic or ableist slurs.
