Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., in a hearing in federal court on Friday, sought to quash a legal challenge that would bar her from running for another term in Congress.
Federal Judge Amy Totenberg heard arguments from lawyers for Greene, a first-term member of Congress from northwest Georgia, and from voters in her district who want to block her from running for reelection.
The lawsuit against Greene seeks to prevent her from appearing on future ballots because it alleges she violated the Constitution by encouraging and facilitating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
The challenge to Greenes candidacy is being brought by residents of Georgias 14th Congressional District, which she represents. The legal effort is being spearheaded by a nonpartisan legal advocacy group, Free Speech for People, and a progressive political action group, Our Revolution.
