President-elect Donald Trump is suing the Des Moines Register over pollster Ann Selzer's inaccurate prediction that Kamala Harris was going to beat him in the state of Iowa

The lawsuit goes after the Des Moines Register top pollster J. Ann Selzer for 'brazen election interference' with her poll released days before the election. 

Selzer's final Des Moines Register poll showed Trump three points behind Harris and was released the Saturday before Election Day. 

It sent a tidal wave through the political universe as most polling - including DailyMail.com's - showed Trump ahead or even with Harris in the swing states. 

But Iowa hasn't been considered a swing state since Trump came onto the political scene, with the Hawkeye State going for the Republican this time by a whopping 13.3 points. 

The filing states: 'Contrary to reality and defying credulity, defendants' Harris Poll was published three days before Election Day and purported to show Harris leading President Trump in Iowa by three points; President Trump ultimately won Iowa by over thirteen points.'

Trump teased the lawsuit during his first press conference since his November 5 election win at Mar-a-Lago on Monday.

He recently was successful with a defamation suit against ABC News over anchor George Stephanopoulos saying Trump had been found 'liable for rape,' instead of the accurate description - that he had been found liable for sexual assault in the E. Jean Carroll case. 

Trump previewed future legal action he planned to take against the news media.
