A former law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, Mike Davis, called out the Denver judge who is presiding over former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit in the state on Monday, calling for the U.S. Supreme Court to step in due to her previous “biased” actions. 

Davis joined “The Ingraham Angle” to discuss the first day of Trump’s case regarding the removal of the former president from the state’s 2024 ballot. When asked by host Laura Ingraham if Davis thought the case could stand, he called out presiding Judge Sarah Wallace for her apparent history of donations and “biased” views.

“Well, unfortunately, I think this biased Denver Judge Sarah Wallace, who donated to a January 6 PAC to go after Trump supporters and who is now hearing this case, I think she is going to rule for these Democrat operatives and try to take President Trump off the ballot here in Colorado,” Davis stated.

“And I think that Democrats are going to try and use that precedent to go to other states like Minnesota and Michigan. So it looks like the Supreme Court of the United States is going to have to step in here and fix this eventually.”

A left-leaning group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a case in Colorado against the former president on Sept. 6 claiming that due to his alleged role in Jan. 6 he should be barred from the state’s 2024 ballot. In addition to Colorado, however, the group also filed similar cases in Minnesota, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. 

Prior to the trial beginning Trump’s attorney, Scott Gessler, filed a motion seeking the recusal of Wallace due to a contribution of $100 to the Colorado Turnout Project, according to 9News.

“She should absolutely recuse on this case. This judge, Sarah Wallace, is a Democrat donor who the Democrat governor just appointed to the Denver District Court. He appointed her in August of 2022, effective of January of 2023,” Davis stated. 

Wallace, however, denied the request for recusal stating that she has formed “no opinion” on the case due to not remembering the donation. When asked about the Colorado Turnout Project, Davis fired back stating it was a Democrat PAC “going after Trump and Trump supporters.”(RELATED: Judge Declines To Recuse From Trump 2024 Ballot Case Over Donation To Anti-GOP PAC)

“Two months after the governor announced her appointment she donated to this Democrat PAC that’s going after Trump and Trump supporters for January 6. She supposedly forgot about this, she now remembers it. She says it won’t cloud her judgment, but that’s not the legal standard as you know Laura,” Davis stated. “She’s subjectively saying she won’t be biased — that’s not the standard!”

“And clearly she can’t sit on a case involving January 6 when she donated to this Democrat PAC going after Trump on January 6.”

The hearing for Trump’s case in Colorado is scheduled to continue throughout the rest of the week.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
