Colorado Judge Overseeing Trump’s ‘Insurrection’ Case Made Donation to Anti-Insurrection Org: Report

The Colorado judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s case to keep him off the state’s 2024 presidential ballot using a provision of the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection” clause is refusing to recuse herself after defense attorneys requested she do so.

The request was made after Trump’s legal team discovered that Denver District Court Judge Sarah B. Wallace donated to a group called the Colorado Turnout Project, according to Colorado Politics.

“Its website proudly proclaims that the group was formed ‘shortly after Colorado Republicans refused to condemn the political extremists who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021,’” Trump attorney Scott Gessler wrote in the motion seeking Wallace’s recusal, which was filed on Friday, according to the report.

“A contribution to the Colorado Turnout Project shows support for the view that January 6, 2021, constituted an ‘insurrection,’” Gessler said, given the group’s stated objective and goals.

Wallace, who donated $100 to the group before she became a judge, did not agree, however.
