Former President Donald Trump filed a motion on Friday requesting that his 14th Amendment case in Colorado be moved from state to federal court.
The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a lawsuit in district court in Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday on behalf of Republican and independent citizens who believe the former president should be disqualified from the 2024 presidential ballot in the state under the 14th Amendment.
The lawsuit in Colorado is part of a widespread effort from people on both sides of the aisle to keep Trump off the ballot, with similar initiatives floating around states like New Hampshire, Arizona, Michigan, and Florida. Some conservative legal scholars and critics of the former president say the 14th Amendment bars those who’ve taken an oath to support the Constitution from holding office again if they’ve “engaged in insurrection” against the United States or “given aid or comfort” to its enemies.
