President Donald Trump asked the US Supreme Court on Friday to revive his dismissed lawsuit against his 2016 Democratic rival Hillary Clinton accusing her of conspiring along with former ​FBI Director James Comey and others to rig that year's election by linking his campaign to Russia.

The Republican president filed his appeal after a federal judge threw out ‌the case and imposed nearly $1 million in sanctions against Trump and one of his lawyers for bringing a "frivolous" suit.

A US appeals court subsequently upheld the dismissal and sanctions.

Trump's lawyers wrote in the appeal that Supreme Court review of the case is needed in order to protect the presidency.
