The deadline to appeal Colorado’s ruling to keep Trump off the ballot is January 4! Don’t pass up the opportunity to support his campaign. Take immediate action.
A landmark decision by the Colorado Supreme Court on December 19 destroyed Trump’s chances of making an appearance on the primary ballot in that state. It was decided, in a closely divided vote of 4–3, that Trump was ineligible under the 14th Amendment.
Those contesting Trump’s eligibility contended In accordance with Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, an individual cannot hold public office if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion.” The state Supreme Court’s four judges concluded that Trump’s frequent claims that the 2020 election was rigged did instigate and participate in rebellion, and they concluded that this speech was the cause of the disturbance that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
The Colorado Supreme Court has automatically postponed its decision until January 4. The state must complete and print ballots by January 5th in order for the forthcoming primary election on March 5th, which is why this decision was made.

Jan. 9: An appeals court will hear the Trump immunity case.
Following special counsel Jack Smith’s request that the justices consider Trump’s presidential immunity defense on an expedited timeline, the Supreme Court determined on Friday that it will not, for the time being, hear a case involving that defense.
In Washington, D.C., where he is charged with four counts of conspiracy to rig the 2020 election, Trump has requested immunity from prosecution. He is charged in the indictment with denying voters their right to have their votes counted. According to the prosecution, Trump’s conduct exceeded his official responsibilities as president.
“The Constitution establishes a powerful structural check to prevent political factions from abusing the formidable threat of criminal prosecution to disable the President and attack their political enemies,” On Saturday, Trump’s legal team wrote in a brief.
Put Jan. 9 on your calendars! A three-judge panel set to hear this contentious case at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is getting ready for a confrontation. Be prepared, since the result may have far-reaching effects. If that’s not enough, the real drama might start when the case is heard by the Supreme Court, which will render a final decision. Keep checking back!
Judge Tanya Chutkan of the US District Court decided to schedule the date of Trump’s jury trial on March 4. Legal experts predict that the trial date will almost certainly be postponed by several weeks owing to the delays, as the trial is on hold while the appeals court reviews Trump’s immunity claim.
Closing arguments in the Trump civil fraud trial begin on January 11.
Though the potential legal ramifications of a civil fraud trial against the Trump Organization are not as great as those of his four criminal cases, they nevertheless carry a significant danger to Trump’s reputation and his ability to conduct business in New York.
In a summary decision previously rendered, Judge Arthur Engoron found that Trump and his family had made false statements while doing business in the Empire State. Inflating the value of properties to obtain better conditions on loans was one of the dishonest practices, and the trial, which has lasted for weeks, has centred on the appropriate sanctions for the former president’s real estate empire.
Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James filed the lawsuit, and Engoron has instructed both sides to provide written responses by January 5. On January 11, closing arguments are scheduled to start.
January 15: E. Jean Carroll’s 2019 defamation lawsuit is set to go to trial
The amount of damages Trump owes writer E. Jean Carroll for calling her a liar and insulting her when he denied raping her in the mid-1990s will be determined at trial on January 15 in Manhattan federal court.
The lawsuit was brought in November 2019 due to remarks he made not long after Carroll made public accusations against him about the sexual event. It was put on hold for a while because the Justice Department had previously maintained that Trump could not be held accountable for remarks he made while in office. However, the DOJ under President Joe Biden withdrew that assertion early this year.
Trump may appeal the defamation lawsuit to the Supreme Court in an effort to invoke the immunity defense. Alina Habba, the defense lawyer, asks for a trial halt of ninety days and reconsideration until all appeals have been exhausted.
Carroll won $5 million in damages after winning a prior claim for violence and slander. Trump is appealing the decision right now.
