Maine secretary of state Shenna Bellows ruled that Mr Trump incited an insurrection when he spread false claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election and then urged his supporters to march on the Capitol on 6 January 2021.

The ruling, which can be appealed to a state court, applies only to the March primary election, but it could affect Mr Trump's status for the November general election.
