Colorado used a little-known amendment to the Constitution to remove him from the state's Republican primary ballot, citing the 6 January riot.

Fifteen states including Colorado hold their primary elections on Tuesday.

The court said it would post an opinion at 10:00 ET (15:00 GMT).

It did not say which case this would cover but taking the unusual step of giving advance notice has heightened anticipation that it was preparing to rule on the Colorado case.
