Trump refiles lawsuit against Iowa pollster in state court
- On Monday, President Donald Trump withdrew his federal lawsuit against Selzer and the Des Moines Register and refiled it in Polk County District Court just before Iowa's anti-SLAPP law took effect.
- Judge Ebinger denied Trump's May 23 motion to remand, with Iowa's anti-SLAPP law taking effect July 1, applying only to new state court filings.
- Trump's refiled Iowa Poll lawsuit in state court shows Harris leading by 3%, but Trump won Iowa by 13, revealing a 16-point polling error.
- Opponents say the refiled lawsuit is a transparent attempt to avoid federal review, risking a chilling effect on journalists and calling the maneuver 'procedurally improper.'
- Trump must file an amended complaint by July 18, with the ongoing appeal before the Eighth Circuit, as he refiled the lawsuit in state court to evade the new anti-SLAPP law.
