Trump, 14th Amendment hearing resumes in Denver: Watch live

The fourth day of a weeklong hearing on a lawsuit seeking to bar former President Trump from the ballot in Colorado under the 14th Amendment begins this morning in Denver.

Opening remarks in the trial began Monday, where a lawyer for the plaintiffs — Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and six Colorado voters — argued that Trump “incited a violent mob” to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, “to stop the peaceful transfer of power under our Constitution.”

Those actions, the lawyer said, deem Trump “ineligible” to be president again, as The Hill reported.

But, the former president’s legal team argued that the “anti-democratic” lawsuit is tantamount to “election interference” in the 2024 presidential race, where Trump is the undisputed frontrunner in the GOP primary.  

The hearing started at 10 a.m. EDT.
