18 sources · 39 articles

Federal authorities and Alaska's Republican governor are investigating allegations that Democrat Mary Peltola's Senate campaign recruited a second candidate named Dan Sullivan to dilute votes in the race against incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan. Peltola has denied involvement, stating she knew nothing about the effort. The DOJ has issued subpoenas, and President Trump has called for prosecution of those involved.

NEWAlaska Governor Mike Dunleavy (R) has formally ordered an investigation into Peltola's campaign; Trump escalated rhetoric by accusing Democrats of fraud and perjury; the DOJ has reportedly issued subpoenas in connection with the matter.
