Newsmax guest rips Trump for 'seeking attention' with 'frivolous' lawsuit against pollster

President-elect Donald Trump was desperately "seeking attention" when he filed a "frivolous" lawsuit against a pollster who showed him losing Iowa this year, an attorney told a conservative news network Tuesday.

In an interview on Newsmax, host Katrina Szish asked lawyer Chandelle Summer to comment after Trump sued pollster Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register.

"I don't believe there is a case there, Katrina," Summer argued. "I think this is, quite frankly, a frivolous lawsuit filed by Trump seeking attention."

"I think this particular poll hurt him badly at the time, because it was so widely published," she continued. "And there are no damages, because he won the state. He exceeded the poll numbers."

"And I just don't think you can sue for false advertising, which is what this case is."

While announcing the lawsuit on Monday, Trump accused the newspaper of "election interference."

"I'm doing this because I feel I have an obligation to. I'm going to be bringing one against the people in Iowa, their newspaper, which had a very, very good pollster who got me right all the time, and then just before the election, she said I was going to lose by 3 or 4 points," the president-elect complained.
