Trump files suit against Iowa pollster Ann Selzer and Des Moines Register newspaper

Washington According to a copy of the complaint seen by NBC News, Donald Trump is suing Ann Selzer, her polling company, The Des Moines Register, and the parent company of the newspaper, Gannett, alleging consumer fraud.

Suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann accused of another slaying
