"President Trump has done more than fight terrorism," the majority concluded in an unsigned order. "Even after the siege of the Capitol began, he continued to support the order, urging Vice President (Mike) Pence to refrain from completing the executive order and calling on senators to not count the votes." These jobs are open and voluntary and are directly related to insurgent activities. "
"We conclude that the above evidence, which was largely undisputed at trial, proves that President Trump was involved in the attack," the court's decision said.

Trump team promises to 'pay' for appeal
Trump team promises to 'immediately appeal' Colorado Supreme Court Decision.
