Donald Trump sued Ann Selzer, her polling firm, the Des Moines Register, and the newspaper's parent company Gannett, in a Polk County, Iowa court on Monday night, according to a copy of the filing reviewed by NBC News,

Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against Iowa pollster Anne Selzer and the Des Moines Register newspaper, alleging defamation due to their recent Iowa Poll results. The poll, which was published ahead of the Iowa caucuses, showed Trump with a significant lead but also indicated a notable shift in voter preference towards other candidates like Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis. Trump's legal action claims that the poll's methodology and reporting were flawed, potentially misleading voters and damaging his campaign. The suit seeks unspecified damages and aims to challenge the credibility of the poll, which has been a long-standing and respected measure of voter sentiment in Iowa. This legal move comes as part of Trump's broader strategy to contest unfavorable media coverage and polling data as he campaigns for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
