Trump sues Des Moines Register and Iowa pollster, escalating attacks on media

Trump's lawsuit claims a poll by Ann Selzer for the Des Moines Register that incorrectly found he was behind in Iowa amounted to consumer fraud.
Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and pollster Ann Selzer, alleging defamation and election interference.
