FIRST ON FOX \u2014 <\/strong>President Donald Trump<\/a> scored yet another legal victory on Friday when the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit shut down Iowa pollster\u00a0J. Ann Selzer\u2019s appeal, reinforcing that the president\u2019s “election interference” lawsuit will now land in Iowa State Court.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s legal team has accused Selzer and The Des Moines Register of “brazen election interference” with their final 2024 Iowa presidential poll that showed him trailing Democrat Kamala Harris.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump originally requested the case be moved to Iowa State Court in May after the defendants “removed” the case to federal court.\u00a0A federal judge\u00a0denied the request<\/a>\u00a0at the time, but the Obama-appointed judge was overruled by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit.<\/p>\n

TRUMP SCORES LEGAL WIN, GETTING LAWSUIT AGAINST IOWA POLLSTER, DES MOINES REGISTER MOVED TO STATE COURT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Trump last month notched a key victory when the 8th Circuit granted Trump\u2019s petition for a writ of mandamus \u2014 a rare judicial order used to correct clear legal errors \u2014 and directed a district judge to treat the case as dismissed “without prejudice,” allowing Trump to refile the case. As a result, the case would be litigated in Iowa State Court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The defendants petitioned the 8th Circuit for relief but were shut down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The petition for rehearing en banc is denied. The petition for rehearing by the panel is denied,” Clerk of Court Susan Bindler ruled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bob Corn-Revere, chief counsel for the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), who represents Selzer,\u00a0issued a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This procedural decision doesn’t change what has been true from the beginning–this frivolous claim is entirely without substance and that fact ultimately will be borne out in court,” Corn-Revere told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

FORMER POLLSTER ANN SELZER HITS BACK AT CRITICISMS OVER IOWA POLL: ‘THEY ARE ACCUSING ME OF A CRIME’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A spokesman for Trump’s legal team told Fox News Digital<\/a> in a statement, “President Trump is committed to holding those who traffic in deception and fake news to account. The Des Moines Register and Gannett knowingly ran a phony poll from the now disgraced Democrat pollster Ann Selzer in an underhanded attempt to interfere in the election and defraud the country into believing Kamala Harris was winning the state of Iowa and nationwide, mere hours before she lost Iowa and the overall election by an overwhelming margin to President Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This scam was designed to damage President Trump\u2019s dominant campaign in the final days of the race. Such fraud cannot be allowed to stand, and President Trump is committed to seeing this case through to a just, winning conclusion.”<\/p>\n

Lark-Marie Ant\u00f3n, a spokesperson for The Des Moines Register’s parent company, Gannett, previously said the case belongs in federal court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are assessing the court\u2019s decision.\u00a0Given the nature of the case and that it\u00a0involves\u00a0the president of the United States as a plaintiff, we continue to believe the federal courts are the most appropriate forum for this lawsuit. In the event the suit is heard by the state courts of Iowa, we have confidence the matter will be adjudicated fairly,” Ant\u00f3n told Fox News Digital last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gannett did not immediately respond to a request for additional comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TRUMP\u2019S LAWSUIT MOVES TO IOWA STATE COURT: WHAT\u2019S NEXT IN HIS CASE AGAINST POLLSTER, DES MOINES REGISTER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Selzer released her final Des Moines Register-sponsored poll showing\u00a0Harris leading Trump by three points<\/a>\u00a0in Iowa just three days before the election. That shock poll showed a seven-point shift from Trump to Harris from September, when he had a four-point lead over the vice president in the same poll.<\/p>\n

Selzer\u2019s poll was\u00a0hyped up by the media<\/a>\u00a0in the days leading up to the election as her polling predictions had been historically accurate. Many suggested it implied a monumental shift in Midwest support for Harris in a red state, but the poll turned out to be way off.<\/p>\n

Trump thumped Harris in Iowa by more than 13 percentage points, the third straight time he’d won the state and the first time any candidate had won there by double digits since 1980.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the election, Selzer announced she was done with election polling and\u00a0moving on to “other ventures<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
