by Trump refers to ‘radical leftists' as ‘parasites' during campaign rally in Clermont
Donald Trump can still appear on the 2024 presidential primary ballot in Colorado, a state judge has ruled – ending efforts to remove the former president on the 14th Amendment.
The effort to remove Mr. Trump from the ballot was based on the claim that he is constitutionally barred from office because of the Jan. 6 uprising.
Earlier, the judge in Donald Trump's fraud trial brought against him by New York Attorney General Letitia James rejected the former president's bid for a mistrial.
Judge Arthur Engoron said he could not “in good conscience” let Trump pursue a request that was “completely without merit.”
The decision comes after Trump launched a fresh attack on Justice Engoron's court clerk almost as an appeals court judge struck down a gag order entered following his earlier comments about her on social media.
The former president took to Truth Social to take the opportunity to attack the judge's “ridiculous” and “unconstitutional” gag order and the “politically biased and out-of-control, employee-hating Trump.”
Meanwhile, in the Washington, D.C., federal case against Mr. Trump over interference in the 2020 election, Judge Tanya Chutkan denied a motion to remove language related to the violence during the Capitol riot January 6 from the indictment.
The former president's legal team argued that the statements were prejudicial, but the judge noted that the jury will not receive a copy of the indictment.
Finally, Fulton County prosecutors have set an Aug. 5 trial date for the Georgia election tampering case. Mr. Trump objects to the date and has requested a hearing.

“This judicial and prosecutorial corruption and misconduct took place BEFORE THE TRIAL HAD JUST BEGUN AND WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE CASE. Justice Engoron did exactly what the very partisan AG told him to do. He is her complete and total puppet!”. the former president wrote.
