Supreme Court rejects case to disqualify Trump over Jan. 6, insurrection claims​


The Supreme Court announced Monday it would not hear a challenge brought by a long-shot Republican presidential candidate seeking to disqualify former President Donald Trump from holding office over the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

John Castro had asked the justices to determine if he has standing to challenge another candidate’s ability to run for office. The case was Castro v. Trump.


Mr. Castro lost in a lower court on the standing issue in his argument that the Constitution forbids Mr. Trump to hold office following the Capitol riot. He said in his petition to the justices that his campaign would be injured if Mr. Trump remains on the ballot.
