Colorado authorities are investigating possible threats against state Supreme Court justices, Denver police said on December 26, one week after the court barred former President Donald Trump from the State's presidential primary ballot.
The FBI said it was assisting local law enforcement in the investigation.
The Denver Police Department also said it was providing "extra patrols" around the homes of the justices, who ruled 4-3 on Dec. 19 that Trump should be disqualified under a little-known clause of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment for engaging in insurrection.
Two nights later, Denver police officers were dispatched to the home of one of the justices in response to a call for service that police afterward described as an apparent "hoax report," adding they were still investigating the incident.
Republican strategists have suggested the Colorado ballot ruling, likely headed for a U.S. Supreme Court appeal, would spark a backlash among political conservatives by reinforcing the narrative that Mr. Trump is the victim of a partisan legal process.
NBC News and other media outlets have since reported the emergence of violent rhetoric on right-wing online forums from Mr. Trump supporters aimed at the four Colorado justices who sided against him.
The posts in question, according to news reports, included messages calling for the justices' personal information to be publicly exposed, and an apparent reference to the judges that said: "All f**ing robed rats must f**ing hang."
