called the press corrupt. President-elect Donald Trump is suing the Des Moines Register newspaper, along with its parent company and its former pollster, for "brazen election interference" over a poll published days before the 2024 presidential election. The 2 November poll suggested Democratic nominee Kamala Harris would win Iowa, a predominantly Republican state. Trump filed the lawsuit fresh off the victory of having ABC News settle a defamation lawsuit for $15m (£12m), over an anchor falsely saying Trump was found liable for rape last year (he was liable for sexual abuse). Trump's often hostile approach to the American press goes back to his first presidential campaign, and is expected to carry into his second term.
