Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has joined with the West Virginia Republican Party and attorneys for former Republican president Donald Trump in making a motion to dismiss a lawsuit meant to keep Trump off of the state’s 2024 Republican primary ballot.
In a filing Thursday, the Attorney General’s Office — representing the state of West Virginia — filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed last month by Texas resident and write-in presidential candidate John Anthony Castro.
The Attorney General’s Office called Castro’s lawsuit frivolous, aimed at getting in front of non-Trump appointed federal judges and making the Trump campaign spend money defending against the lawsuits.
