"Judge Imposes Ban on Threats and Intimidation in Trump Ballot Removal Case"

The judge overseeing the lawsuit seeking to remove former President Donald Trump from Colorado's 2024 presidential ballot has issued a protective order prohibiting threats and intimidation in the case, citing concerns for the safety of those involved. The order comes as lawyers for the liberal group Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington seek to disqualify Trump based on the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. Trump's attorney opposed the order, arguing that threats and intimidation are already prohibited by law. The case is the first filed by a group with significant legal resources and is expected to reach the U.S. Supreme Court. The judge has set an October 30 hearing to discuss Trump's potential removal from the ballot.
