"Final day of Colorado Trump trial: Testimony on 14th Amendment and eligibility for presidency"

The final day of the Colorado trial challenging former President Donald Trump's eligibility to seek office again focused on expert testimony regarding the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. Trump's legal team called retired law professor Robert Delahunty as a witness to rebut the testimony of Indiana University law professor Gerard Magliocca. Delahunty, who had never given expert testimony before, argued that the clause's definition of "engaging in insurrection" was more restricted than Magliocca suggested. Delahunty also endorsed the argument that the phrase "officer of the United States" in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment does not include the president. The trial concluded with closing arguments expected to be heard on November 15, and a ruling by November 17.
