Donald Trump escaped impeachment in Michigan

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, the Supreme Court of the State of Michigan today rejected the attempt to target the name of “Donald Trump” from the ballots in this state for the preliminary stage of the US presidential election.

CNN interpreted the ruling as a victory for Trump, although efforts to remove him from the general election may intensify.

Michigan’s decision is in opposition to the decision of the Supreme Court of the state of Colorado, which last Wednesday voted to remove the name of “Donald Trump” from the list of candidates competing in the 2024 US presidential election.

Donald Trump, of course, referred the verdict of the Colorado court to the Supreme Court of the United States and is waiting for the decision of this high court regarding the disqualification in Colorado. Analysts say a Supreme Court ruling in Trump’s favor here could end statewide impeachment efforts.

Unlike in Colorado, the lawsuit against Trump in Michigan never made it to trial and was dismissed at an early stage.

The “Court of Claims of Michigan” announced that the state’s laws do not allow election officials to monitor the qualifications of candidates in the primary stage of the presidential election.

Trump has been complained about in these two states because of his role in the events of January 6, 2021. In the ruling of the Colorado court, it was stated that Trump’s name cannot be on the ballot because of his role in the “riots” of this day. The US Constitution had relied on it.

This clause has already been used to disqualify thousands of candidates from the United States (a union of eleven southern states between 1861 and 1865).

However, since 1919, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution has only been used twice, while experts say that the ambiguous tone contained in this legal clause of former presidents does not include

The complaint against Trump was filed in September by a non-conservative group called Free Speech for the People. This group had filed a similar lawsuit against Trump in the state of Minnesota, which was also unsuccessful.

Voting for the primary stage of the US presidential election in the state of Michigan is scheduled to be held on February 27.

Trump is the leading candidate of the Republican Party in the election polls. Meanwhile, he is facing 91 criminal charges in the course of four criminal cases, which, according to him, could bring him up to 560 years in prison.

Donald Trump on the social network “SocialTruth” welcomed the Michigan court’s ruling and wrote that this court “firmly and correctly” rejected what it said was a “desperate attempt by Democrats” to remove him from the election race.

Donald Trump has described such lawsuits and complaints against him as a political attempt by the rival party to remove him from the political scene.
