Attorneys for Donald Trump will be in court this week to defend against two separate cases that aim to stop the former president from appearing on primary ballots in Colorado and Minnesota.
The lawsuits, which could wind up at the U.S. Supreme Court, contend that the GOP front-runner is barred from the presidency under the Civil War-era 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
That amendment includes a provision to prevent people who previously took an oath to support the Constitution from holding office if they have “engaged in insurrection.”
