Iowa pollster Ann Selzer's legal team has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit by former President Trump, which challenges a poll showing Vice President Harris leading him. The legal arguments dismantled Trump's claims, emphasizing First Amendment rights. This came after Trump sought investigation and sued Selzer following the Des Moines Register's publication of the poll just before the election. The lawsuit alleges consumer fraud based on Trump's view of the poll as fake news. The advocacy group FIRE has stepped in to support Selzer's defense pro bono, asserting the lawsuit's unconstitutionality.
Selzer's legal team argued that Trump's lawsuit was a case of artful pleading that attempted to evade First Amendment protections, lacking legitimate grounds.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression condemned Trump's lawsuit, declaring it decidedly unconstitutional and an assault on free speech principles.
