Trump refiles lawsuit against Iowa pollster in state court
IOWA, JUL 1 – Trump and co-plaintiffs allege a misleading Iowa poll violated consumer fraud laws by harming Republican candidates and seek damages while avoiding a new anti-SLAPP law, court documents show.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump, Iowa Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks, and former state Senator Brad Zaun resubmitted a legal complaint in Iowa state court targeting Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer along with the local newspaper, the Des Moines Register.
- Trump filed the lawsuit in December, claiming that an Iowa poll showing Kamala Harris ahead of him by a small margin unfairly impacted the 2024 election.
- The case was originally moved from Polk County to federal court at Gannett attorneys' request; Trump sought to return it to state court but his motion was denied in May.
- The lawsuit was refiled just a day prior to the implementation of Iowa’s new law aimed at swiftly dismissing unfounded lawsuits targeting free speech, and it accuses violations related to the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act as well as deceptive misrepresentations.
- The Des Moines Register is committed to upholding its First Amendment rights, while Selzer's attorney describes the lawsuit as a clear effort to circumvent federal court scrutiny of a baseless claim.
