The newly elected US president has initiated a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register over the results of an election poll. This was reported by the BBC, according to UNN.

Donald Trump claims that the results of the study were “political theater” designed to manipulate voters, so he is demanding damages, the amount of which he did not disclose.
The poll was published just a few days before the election, when Trump's victory in Iowa was already predicted, despite the newspaper's forecast. The newspaper denies the grounds for the lawsuit, saying that such criticism has no legal basis. Legal experts also believe that Trump is unlikely to succeed, as freedom of speech in the United States protects the publication of such materials.
