A Colorado judge has denied a motion by Donald Trump's attorneys to dismiss a case challenging his eligibility to run for president because of the "insurrection" clause of the 14th Amendment. District Court Judge Sarah B. Wallace on Wednesday said many of the legal questions raised have never been addressed by a court before.

Lawyers for a group of Colorado voters are focusing on the January 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol and former President Donald Trump's words and actions in a trial that could determine whether the Constitution's insurrection clause bars Trump from running again for the White House.

The lawsuit claims the U.S. Constitution's ban on those who have "engaged in insurrection" from holding office applies to Trump, citing his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

A liberal group has filed a lawsuit to bar former President Donald Trump from the primary ballot in Colorado. The lawsuit contends Trump is ineligible to run for the White House again under a rarely used clause in the U.S. Constitution aimed at candidates who have supported an "insurrection."

A Colorado businessman convicted of fraudulently siphoning hundreds of thousands of dollars from an online fundraiser to build a wall along the U.S. southern border has been sentenced to five years and three months in prison.

Donald Trump's remarks late last week to Alabama's syndicated Rick & Bubba radio show should figure into two ongoing investigations, Sen. Michael Bennet said, calling them an admission that showed that the decision to relocate U.S. Space Command wasn't one made on merits.

Since June 2020, a large proportion of Arizona's rivers, lakes and streams have not been protected by the Clean Water Act. That's due to a change to the federal rule the Trump administration made in 2019. The state relied on the landmark law to keep its arid streams free of pollution.But after the federal protections were limited, Arizona decided to come up with its own set of surface water quality standards.

Seven Republicans joined with all Democrats and independents to vote to convict the former president for inciting an insurrection, but the tally is short of the two-thirds vote needed.

The trial of the former president concluded on Saturday with an acquittal of the former president.

Rep. Jamie Raskin played a series of video clips showing the former president encouraging or excusing violence against his perceived political opponents.
