Colorado judge weighs if Trump incited an insurrection, can run again

The Washington Post: In Colorado, a judge is deliberating on whether former President Donald Trump instigated an insurrection, potentially disqualifying him from running for office again under the 14th Amendment. During a unique trial, testimonies were heard from constitutional experts, law enforcement officers involved in the January 6 events, and Trump’s advisors. The focus is on whether Trump’s actions surrounding the Capitol riot constitute incitement. While Trump’s defense claims he sought National Guard deployment for peacekeeping, opponents argue his rhetoric incited violence.

The case is part of a broader series of legal challenges across the United States addressing Trump’s eligibility for future office. A ruling from the Colorado judge is forthcoming, as similar cases progress in other states, and ultimately, the Supreme Court may need to provide a definitive answer.
