Trump sues Iowa newspaper over election poll claiming Harriss leads | Donald Trump

Donald Trump has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register newspaper and its pollster, J Ann Selzer, accusing them of consumer fraud and election interference following a poll taken before the election that showed Kamala Harris leading Trump in Iowa.

The lawsuit was filed in Polk County Monday evening, as reported by Reuters and NBC News, which reviewed the documents.

The lawsuit reportedly seeks accountability for brazen election interference they say was committed by the newspaper and Selzer in its Nov. 2 poll, which showed Harris ahead of Trump by three percentage points in Iowa.

Trump ultimately won the state by about 13 percentage points and also beat Harris in the election to become America's president-elect.

The lawsuit reportedly said that Selzer's failure to vote was not a stunning coincidence, but rather intentional and that, as President Trump observed: she knew exactly what she was doing.

According to Reuters, the lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and an order prohibiting the Des Moines Register from engaging in deceptive and deceptive acts and practices related to the polls.

Gannett, the newspaper's parent company, is also reportedly named in the lawsuit. A Gannett spokesperson told Reuters the organization stands by its reporting and believes the lawsuit is without merit.

In mid-November, Selzer announced her retirement from political polling, stating that she was turning to other projects and opportunities.

The Iowa lawsuit was apparently filed just hours after Trump said he would likely take major legal action against the newspaper and Selzer during a news conference Monday.

I'm doing this because I feel I have an obligation to do this, Trump said Monday. I'm going to start one against the people of Iowa, their newspaper, which had a very, very good pollster who always agreed with me, and then right before the election, she said I was going to lose by three or four points. and it became the biggest story in the whole world.

He added: In my opinion, this was fraud and election interference. She always understood me well, she's a very good pollster, she knows what she was doing.

He added: It costs a lot of money, but we need to get the press straightened out. Our press is very corrupt, almost as corrupt as our elections.

The suit is the latest in a series of legal actions Trump has filed against the media. At the press conference, Trump also mentioned his lawsuit against publisher Simon & Schuster and journalist Bob Woodward, who he said failed to quote me correctly from the recordings and sold the recordings, which he claimed 'he wasn't allowed to do.

Simon & Schuster and Woodward called the lawsuit baseless.

Trump also discussed a lawsuit he filed against CBS News in October, accusing the network of misleading editing in a 60 Minutes interview with Harris.

CBS News said the lawsuit's allegations were completely without merit and filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

This all comes as Walt Disney-owned ABC News last week agreed to pay $15 million to a foundation and museum to be established by Trump as part of a settlement under another defamation lawsuit that the president-elect had launched.
