What to know about Friday's January 6-focused hearing on the bid to disqualify Marjorie Taylor Greene
CNN
The effort to disqualify lawmakers who allegedly encouraged the January 6 Capitol attack takes a major step forward Friday with a hearing on the bid to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from the ballot this year.
Greene is one of multiple Republican lawmakers who have been targeted with disqualification petitions citing a constitutional amendment barring lawmakers from serving in office if they participated in an Insurrection. The effort is unprecedented and could bring new insight to the conduct of those who supported former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election -- even as the challengers have faced an uphill battle to remove Greene and other lawmakers from the ballot.
Greene -- who denies the allegations that she encouraged the violence on January 6, 2021 -- is vigorously pushing back on the effort, having already sought to block it in federal court.
