A Colorado judge on Wednesday rejected a bid by former President Donald Trump to shut down the 14th Amendment case against his 2024 candidacy in the middle of the ongoing trial.
Denver District Court Judge Sarah Wallace said she wanted to let the proceedings move forward and hear more evidence, including on how the First Amendment might protect Trump’s incendiary speech on January 6, 2021, which the challengers have described as a “call to violence.”
Indiana University law professor Gerard Magliocca has studied the 14th Amendment long before the 2020 election – including the congressional debate over its language, Justice Department memos about how the ban was applied during Reconstruction, and subsequent court cases on disqualification.
Later in the day, Pierson, a key interlocutor between the Trump White House and the groups that put on the Ellipse rally on January 6, described how she tried to keep most “fringe” members of the pro-Trump orbit away from the official event.
Simon, a Democrat, hasn’t taken a position on Trump’s eligibility, though his office said in court filings that it believes the lawsuit is “the proper process provided by state law” to adjudicate the question.
“Both the federal Constitution and Minnesota law place the resolution of this political issue where it belongs: the democratic process, in the hands of either Congress or the people of the United States,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in a court filing.
