Trump Files Lawsuit Against Des Moines Register Over Poll Election Claims

President-elect Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and pollster Ann Selzer, alleging they engaged in consumer fraud by publishing a poll showing him trailing Kamala Harris in Iowa, which he ultimately won by over 13 points. The suit, filed under Iowa consumer fraud law, claims the poll was an attempt to mislead voters. Legal experts have criticized the lawsuit as lacking merit, suggesting it reflects Trump’s frustration with any negative portrayal of his campaign. Gannett, the Register's parent company, maintains their reporting integrity.
