Donald Trump says a legal challenge filed by Texas’s attorney general – and described by one law professor as the “craziest lawsuit filed to purportedly challenge the election” – is “the big one” that will hand him a victory in his quest to overthrow the US election result.
It comes after the US Supreme Court slapped down an attempt by the president’s allies to upend the vote in Pennsylvania. The nine justices rejected the bid out of hand and refused even to hear it.
His wife, Melania Trump, has meanwhile reportedly begun focusing on her post-White House life, with a source telling CNN: “She just wants to go home.”
