The FBI is investigating threats being made to against the seven justices of the Colorado Supreme Court after they ruled in a 4-3 judgment that former president and affirmed insurrectionist Donald Trump cannot appear on the 2024 presidential ballot in the state, CNN reports. Denver police have reportedly responded to at least one hoax call to a justice’s home.
“The FBI is aware of the situation and working with local law enforcement,” a Bureau official said on Monday. “We will vigorously pursue investigations of any threat or use of violence committed by someone who uses extremist views to justify their actions regardless of motivation.” An independent agency found online threats against all seven justices rose after four of the Court ruled Trump’s actions relating to blocking the certification of the 2020 election violated the 14th Amendment’s Section 3.
