Summary created with AI assistance · Source: iowapublicradio.org
- A Polk County judge dismissed President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer.
- Scott Beattie said an inaccurate poll was not automatically fraudulent because opinion polls are inherently uncertain.
- He also deemed the poll free speech protected by the First Amendment and warned it could discourage others from reporting on public affairs.
- FIRE, which represented Selzer, said the lawsuit was intended to intimidate other news organizations into silence.
At its core, the plaintiffs’ petition seeks to stretch both Iowa statutory and common law beyond their current bounds, turning speech that enjoys the highest category of First Amendment protection into a liability. After considering the parties’ arguments, the court must conclude that the protection is too great and the reach is too far. The case must therefore be dismissed.— Judge Scott Beattie, Polk County judge, in ruling on Trump v. Des Moines Register
