Selzer, who published a poll shortly before the election indicating Kamala Harris leading by three points in Iowa, has strongly denied allegations of deliberately interfering in the election.
Meanwhile, 60 Minutes defends its allegedly edited interview with Harris and has declined to release the full transcripts.
JUST IN: Donald Trump announces he is launching a lawsuit against pollster Ann Selzer for allegedly rigging her Iowa poll to influence the 2024 election.

Trump also announced that he would be suing 60 Minutes for editing Kamala Harris' answers.

He’s not entirely off base.
He shouldn’t have to resort to lawsuits to hold the media accountable. But since they seem more interested in attacking him than practicing real journalism, this is where we’ve ended up.
Does he have a case? Time will tell.
Donald Trump needs to teach the Marxist media a very painful lesson about its disinformation ops

Absolutely, he does.
Perhaps financial consequences will finally teach them a lesson.
I hope she gets the sht sued out of her.

Polls have been used to alter public opinion and have lost their way.
Exactly.
Time to start hitting back. For far too long the right has stood back and watched the left use lawfare to bully and intimidate.

Time for a change.
The Left never hesitates to file lawsuits when things don’t go their way, so it’s time to adopt their playbook.
The 60 minutes edit was appalling. MSM doesn't realize this, but if they'd just stick to the unedited facts they may not be losing viewership and relevance at such an incredible rate.

But honesty might actually benefit Trump.
And we can’t have that.
The purpose of polls is to influence the electorate. They rarely provide an honest evaluation of the intent of the voters. That's why campaigns have internal polls that often look very different.

More conservative groups need to follow Trump’s example.

Sue them all.
Either we fix the courts in this country, or start using them against the enemy. https://t.co/F6cRP8Hmth pic.twitter.com/VKB2jQGl4A
Exactly right.
News organizations could have prepared for Trump by not blatantly defaming him and lying all the time, but they chose not to. Now they can burn. https://t.co/BYAwtheb0I

B-b-b-but the Orange Man is BAD!
It was absolutely fraud. Voters saw it for what it was but there was a lot of mass media hysteria, making it look like Trump was going to lose, and if that's not interference, I don't know what is. https://t.co/gz7clU3eCr

The discovery process could be fascinating.
Please don’t stop, I believe MSNBC owes you for their latest lies. https://t.co/H8RynA3CbB

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of all the lies these days.
If the media isn't held accountable for their constant lying, they won't stop. Trump is taking on their bullshit and they should be panicking. Of course, they could always start telling the truth. Elections have consequences. https://t.co/9CzBnRWNT3

They’ll never be honest.
