Trump Colorado ballot disqualification trial begins

A long-shot bid to disqualify former President Donald Trump from appearing on Colorado's 2024 ballots began in a Denver courtroom on Monday.
The case will test a rarely-used, Civil War-era provision of the U.S. Constitution that bars people who have engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" from holding federal office.
Plaintiffs’ attorney Scott Olson argued Trump assembled a violent mob at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 that tried to prevent the constitutional transfer of power.
"And we are here because Trump claims, after all that he has the right to be president again. But our Constitution and our shared charter of our nation says he cannot do so. And Colorado law says this court must ensure that only eligible candidates appear on our ballots."
