The suit, filed Monday night in Polk County, Iowa, says it seeks “accountability for brazen election interference” over a Nov. 2 poll that showed Kamala Harris up by 3 percentage points in Iowa.

Trump won the state by double digits, a difference that his lawyers argue in the suit constitutes “election-interfering fiction.” Trump is making the claim under the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act, which prohibits deceptive advertising.

“I’m doing this because I feel I have an obligation to. I’m going to be bringing one against the people in Iowa, their newspaper, which had a very, very good pollster who got me right all the time, and then just before the election, she said I was going to lose by 3 or 4 points,” Trump said in discussing the suit Monday.
