Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), the plaintiff in the case, is arguing Trump, by allegedly motivating Jan. 6 protesters with his election fraud claims, violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
After the trial kicked off Monday, Judge Sarah Wallace quickly rejected an effort from Trump’s legal team to have her recused from the case, the Associated Press reported.
Trump’s attorneys had filed a motion calling for Wallace to recuse herself from the case due to an alleged $100 donation to the Colorado Turnout Project in October 2022.
The PAC’s website reads that it is focused on defeating Trump ally Representative Lauren Boebert and “electing Democrats across Colorado.”
“The Colorado Turnout Project aims to prevent violent insurrections by addressing this problem at its source– if we vote out pariahs like Representative Boebert, we can turn CO Blue once and for all,” the organization’s website reads.
Trump’s legal team has argued the former president was exercising his First Amendment right to freedom of speech by saying the election was stolen via widespread voter fraud, a claim that has not been proven.
