US President Donald Trump assailed the Supreme Court on Tuesday after it denied his request to lift an order halting his plan to restrict mail-in voting. He accused the court of allowing itself to be cowed by Democrats, calling the decision 'horrible' and 'highly political' in a post on his Truth Social network. Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to restrict mail-in voting ahead of midterm elections in November, saying without evidence that it is vulnerable to fraud. Democratic-led states sued the administration, arguing that under the US Constitution, states retain broad control over election administration.
