West Virginia’s attorney general filed a motion Oct. 12 to dismiss a lawsuit alleging President Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state’s 2024 presidential election ballot.

It’s one of many lawsuits that Republican presidential candidate John Anthony Castro brought in multiple states, according to a Newsweek interview. Mr. Castro has asserted his view that because President Trump aided an “insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, the 14th Amendment of the Constitution disqualifies him from seeking the presidency.
