This week, a judge denied Donald Trump’s attempt to dismiss the 14th Amendment lawsuit we brought on behalf of six Colorado voters.
This ruling means that we are one step closer to presenting our clients’ case in court at the upcoming October 30 evidentiary hearing.
Trump’s attempt to dismiss the lawsuit was brought under Colorado’s anti-SLAPP law, which seeks to protect people from being sued over exercising their free speech rights. But the judge ruled that "this lawsuit falls within the public interest exemption to the anti-SLAPP statute," and concluded that "ensuring that only constitutionally qualified candidates can seek to hold the highest office in the country...seeks to enforce an important right which confers a significant benefit to the public.”
Bringing a case like this presents a lot of hurdles, but this well-reasoned decision means we have cleared one important challenge. Now, as we have been, CREW and our co-counsel are focused on presenting a thorough, detailed case in just a few weeks, where we will be calling witnesses and presenting evidence.
If you’re able, please consider pitching in to support CREW’s work, including our lawsuit against Trump. >> [[link removed]]
