Former President Trump 14th Amendment Hearing in Colorado, Day 1, Part 4

In this portion of the Second Judicial District Court trial determining former President Trump’s eligibility to be on the ballot in Colorado, the attorney for the petitioners showed video and other types of evidence. No witnesses testified. The petitioners argued the 14th Amendment disqualifies him because of his perceived role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The former president’s defense argued he did not call for an attack on the Capitol, but rather that he was speaking metaphorically. Listed as a co-defendant is Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D), who had said her office would abide by whatever ruling the court makes. close
