(July 24, 2018, 9:46 AM EDT) -- CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A federal judge refused to dismiss most claims brought by residents of Charlottesville alleging members of white supremacist groups conspired to commit racial violence at 2017 rallies to protest the city’s renaming of a park.

Jason Kessler, et al., No. 17-00072, W.D. Va., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 113946)....
