Denver police investigating threats against Colorado Supreme Court justices after ruling disqualifying Trump from holding office

Washington — Law enforcement in Denver is investigating threats against justices of the Colorado Supreme Court in the wake of its landmark decision finding that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from holding the presidency due to his conduct surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.  

The Denver Police Department did not disclose details of the open investigations, citing "safety and privacy consideration," but is providing extra patrols around justices' residences in Denver and will give additional safety support if it is requested.

"The Denver Police Department is currently investigating incidents directed at Colorado Supreme Court justices and will continue working with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners to thoroughly investigate any reports of threats or harassment," the department said in a statement.
