Donald Trump Barred From Issuing Threats and Intimidation for Election Disqualification Case

Donald Trump's tendency to issue threats to his opponents and witnesses in every case against him is now coming back to haunt the former president in his Colorado election disqualification case. A judge has now barred him from threatening or intimidating people.

District Court Judge Sarah Block Wallace ruled on Friday that she is prohibiting Donald Trump from issuing threats and intimidation regarding the case "for the safety of those involved." This includes herself and her staff as Trump tends to also post dangerous statements regarding judges overseeing his cases and blames them for partisanship.

According to ABC Denver 7, lawyers are suing the former president under a Civil War-era clause of the 14th Amendment. These lawyers petitioned the judge to issue a gag order on the former president for threatening witnesses, lawyers, and the judge.

Trump is already facing several criminal cases in New York, Georgia, Florida, and Washington DC. The DC and Georgia cases are linked as they tackle Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results where he lost to Joe Biden. Meanwhile, the New York case involves his hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and his Florida case involves his mishandling of classified documents.

This disqualification case is the latest legal battle that Trump is facing in addition to his four criminal cases and several other civil lawsuits. He is the first former president to be indicted and also the first former president to have his mugshot taken.

Donald Trump Disqualification Case

The lawsuit against Trump in Colorado petitioned Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold bar Trump from appearing on the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot. It argued that Trump should not be permitted to run under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution.

According to the Associated Press, anybody who has taken an oath of office from holding public office and has also "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the United States, will be barred from holding any public office. In Colorado, it was petitioned by a bipartisan group of voters, majority of whom were Republican.

The petitioners claimed in their lawsuit that Trump made plans to "cast doubt on and undermine confidence in our nation's election infrastructure" and knowingly sought to subvert the US Constitution and system of elections through a "sustained campaign of lies" that led to the January 6 Capitol Insurrection.

The suit also claimed that during the January 6 insurrection, he "incited, exacerbated, and otherwise engaged in a violent insurrection at the United States Capitol by a mob who believed they were following his orders."

Donald Trump's History of Threats and Intimidation

Before the order to prohibit Trump from issuing threats to plaintiffs and witnesses was put in place, Trump had previously threatened opponents by using his platform to rile up his supporters.

According to Time Magazine, this has been evident in his Georgia and Federal election cases where he has come after Fulton County DA Fani Willis and Special Counsel Jack Smith, both of whom are investigating him for his various alleged crimes.

Using Truth Social, he spread unfounded rumors of Willis engaging in an affair with a gang leader. Willis, as well as New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is pressing a civil suit against the ex-POTUS, have both received death threats that have stemmed from Trump's posts.
