Trump, 14th Amendment hearing in Denver: Watch live

A weeklong hearing on a lawsuit seeking to bar former President Trump from the ballot in Colorado under the 14th Amendment is underway this morning in Denver.

The suit was filed last month by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) on behalf of six Republican and unaffiliated voters in Colorado that include former federal, state and local officials.

It is part of a wider argument by some legal scholars and lawmakers that Trump is disqualified from the ballot under the 14th Amendment for his alleged actions related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the Capitol.

At the start of the hearing, the judge rejected a Trump motion that she step aside because she once contributed money to a liberal group, as The Associated Press reported.

The event started at 10 a.m. EDT.
