- President Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to reopen his dismissed lawsuit against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, reviving claims she and other political adversaries orchestrated an effort to sabotage his 2016 presidential campaign by tying it to Russia.
- Trump filed the appeal seeking to revive the case, which had previously been dismissed at a lower court, against Clinton and other unnamed adversaries over the Russia-2016 campaign narrative.
Why it matters: The appeal pushes a politically charged legal fight into the nation's highest court, where justices can choose to let the dismissal stand or revive Trump's claims that Clinton conspired to link his 2016 campaign to Russia. A decision to hear the case would breathe new life into a lawsuit that lower courts had already thrown out.
