A Denver District Court judge is expected to decide this week whether former President Donald Trump is eligible for Colorado’s 2024 primary ballot.
Sean Grimsley, an attorney for the petitioners, argues that Trump engaged in an insurrection by inciting a violent mob to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
“I would say as if the petitioners’ case the foundation of it… is… it is rotted… it is a rotten foundation… the Jan. 6 report was originally used for political purposes to… sort of… an election issue… and that has failed I mean, like it or not for the office, president Trump remains reliable in many instances considered a leading candidate for the presidency,” he said.
The trial - which ended two weeks ago - included testimony from D.C. riot police, rally goers, constitutional experts, and two members of congress.
If they can keep Trump off the primary ballot in enough states, they hope to keep him from getting the needed delegates to secure the republican presidential nomination.
Similar lawsuits challenging Trump’s ballot eligibility under the 14th Amendment have failed recently in Michigan and Minnesota.
