"Trump's Eligibility for 2024 Election Under Scrutiny in Colorado Trial"

The disqualification trial against former President Donald Trump continued in Colorado, with voters seeking to keep him off the 2024 ballot based on the 14th Amendment's "insurrectionist ban." An expert on right-wing extremism testified that Trump's speech on January 6, 2021, was interpreted by his militant supporters as a call to violence. Trump filed a lawsuit to shut down a similar case in Michigan, while another major hearing is set for Thursday in Minnesota. The trial highlights Trump's history of embracing far-right groups and the interpretation of his words as a call to violence by extremists. The relationship between Trump and far-right extremists is described as "unprecedented." Trump's lawyer pushed back, pointing out that Democrats have used similar incendiary language. The trial will feature additional expert testimony, and Trump's defense will follow. Trump has filed a separate lawsuit in Michigan to prevent his name from being blocked on the 2024 ballot based on the 14th Amendment.
