Cook County Court Orders Illinois State Board of Elections eliminate Donald Trump belonging newsletters elections primaries Republican Party for its role in storming the Capitol.
The decision was made by Cook Circuit Judge Tracy Porter, who also issued her own order to immediately stay the case to give the tycoon’s lawyers until next Friday to file an appeal.
