    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Colorado police are working with the FBI to investigate threats directed at justices of the state’s supreme court after its decision to remove Donald Trump from the presidential primary ballot.

    The court voted 4-3 last week that the former president was ineligible to run for the White House again, citing a rarely used clause in the US constitution and his role in the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.

    The department declined in an email to provide details about its investigations, citing safety and privacy considerations and because they are ongoing.

    “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,” Vikki Migoya, a spokesperson for the Denver FBI office, said in a statement.

    Officials are also monitoring online extremist forums for threats to the four justices who voted in favor of denying Trump a spot on the state’s ballot, CNN reported.

    Colorado officials say the issue must be settled by 5 January, the deadline for the state to print its presidential primary ballots.
