On Wednesday, Trump appealed to the Supreme Court. Colorado Republicans did the same before the turn of the year.
State of Maine has also prevented Trump from participating in the primaries. Trump has also complained about Maine's decision.
Trump's candidacy has been challenged on the basis of the same constitutional amendment in other states as well.
The US Supreme Court currently has a conservative majority. Trump has appointed three of the court's nine justices.
The Republican Party will nominate Trump as its candidate probably in July. The country has never before elected a president accused of a crime.
The US presidential election will be held in November this year.
