The Republican race for the nomination has devolved into a very nasty free-for-all between the remaining candidates. Now Trump’s supporters are attacking his closest rival in South Carolina, Ted Cruz’s status as a US citizen, while giving Trump the opportunity of saying he wasn’t behind this lawsuit.
Trump supporters file 'birther' lawsuit against Cruz in federal court
By Bradford Richardson
The lawsuit, filed Feb. 3 at a district court in Alabama, seeks a judgment “declaring that Rafael Edward Cruz is ineligible to qualify/run/seek and be elected to the Office of the President of the United States of America” due to his Canadian birth.
Several of the five plaintiffs — Sebastian Green, Shannon Duncan, Kathryn Spears, Kyle Spears and Jerry Parker — are backing Trump in the Republican primary, their attorney, Thomas Drake, told The Hill, although he said others are still undecided.
"The only thing they can agree on is Mr. Cruz is not eligible to be president," Drake said.
Meanwhile Trump is accusing Cruz of dirty campaigning.
