Investigation Launched by FBI into Threats Directed at Colorado Judges Who Opposed Donald Trump

An investigation is underway in Colorado after threats were made against judges who ruled that Donald Trump cannot be listed on the state's presidential primary ballot. The Denver Police have increased patrols around the homes of the justices in the city, and the local FBI office is assisting in the investigation. The ruling by Colorado's Supreme Court, which cited the US Constitution to disqualify Trump based on his actions during the Capitol riot, has been criticized by Trump and his campaign. Following the ruling, threats against the judges were posted online, including personal information such as addresses and phone numbers. The threats, which included calls for violence, were shared on various platforms, including Twitter, Telegram, and Trump's own social network. Denver Police stated that they are thoroughly investigating these threats, but declined to provide further details due to privacy concerns and ongoing inquiries. A non-partisan research group monitoring pro-Trump networks has reported the significant violent language and threats made against the judges. There were also unevidenced allegations that the extreme rhetoric was a trap to incite violence among Trump supporters. Liberal watchdog groups and anti-Trump Republican and independent voters brought the case to the Colorado court. Trump has until January 4th to appeal the ruling, but legal experts believe he will face challenges in the conservative-leaning US Supreme Court. This court ruling is seen by Democrats as further fuel for Trump's claims of unfair targeting by the judicial system. Trump himself has criticized the Colorado decision and other legal cases against him on his newly launched social network, Truth Social.
