The Colorado Supreme Court has excluded Donald Trump from the Republican primary vote for the White House due to the role the former president allegedly played in the storming of Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021.
He is the first presidential candidate in US history to be declared ineligible under the 14th Amendment, which excludes from public office officials involved in "insurrection or revolt" against the American government.
A decision that could have a significant impact on the presidential election campaign.
For their part, the Republican magnate's entourage defines the verdict as "wrong and anti-democratic" and his lawyers are ready to appeal to the federal Supreme Court.
