Lawyers in the case on Wednesday will make their final pitch to Colorado District Court Judge Sarah Wallace, who will decide the case, following a weeklong trial that featured testimony from U.S. lawmakers, legal experts and Republican political operatives.
Yeah this is gonna be a no. They just simply did not come close to proving specific intent, which was what Wallace said she needed to see on day one. You are going to need physical evidence for that. I really think they should have figured out how to get evidence from the GA and FL cases admitted. I think this was not well done.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nov 15 (Reuters) - Lawyers representing a group of Colorado voters are set to deliver closing arguments on Wednesday in a lawsuit seeking to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the state’s ballot next year over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.
The voters are seeking to use the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which bars officials who have engaged in “insurrection or rebellion” from holding public office, to argue that Trump is ineligible to run for president in 2024.
Thousands of people stormed the Capitol in a failed attempt to prevent Congress from certifying Biden’s 2020 victory over Trump.
Trump’s lawyers have denied that he incited his supporters to violence and have argued that disqualifying him from the ballot would set a dangerous precedent.
But CREW and other activists are seeking to bring a series of legal challenges to Trump’s eligibility based on the 14th Amendment language.
Courts in Michigan and Minnesota have ruled that Trump can remain on the ballot for the Republican primaries in those states, but declined to immediately decide on his eligibility for the November 2024 general election.
