Trump Sues Iowa Newspaper and Pollster Over Pre-Election Poll

President-elect Donald Trump alleges fraud and election interference in a lawsuit targeting a poll that inaccurately predicted his Iowa loss to Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer, claiming their final pre-election poll constituted fraud and election interference.
The poll, released three days before the election, showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading Trump by three points in Iowa; Trump ultimately won the state by over 13 points.
Selzer, a highly regarded pollster with a long history of accurate predictions, has denied any wrongdoing and expressed confusion over the accusations.
Trump's legal team argues the poll misled voters and forced his campaign to divert resources unnecessarily, citing potential violations of the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act.
The lawsuit follows a string of legal actions by Trump against media outlets, including a $15 million settlement with ABC News over a defamation case.
