Judge Dismisses 14th-Amendment Claim That Trump Can’t Run For President

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by a Florida tax attorney that claimed former President Donald Trump could not run for office on the basis of fomenting an insurrection.
Judge Robin L. Rosenberg ruled that Lawrence Caplan, who filed the challenge, did not have a particular legal injury to bring forth a federal lawsuit regarding the former president and the 14th Amendment.
Caplan had argued in his filing that a clause in the 14th amendment that says those who “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the government cannot hold office.
