Justice Department issues new subpoenas in Alaska Senate spoiler-candidate investigation involving Mary Peltola and a second Dan Sullivan

The Justice Department issued new grand jury subpoenas and records-preservation demands in a criminal investigation into whether Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign recruited Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., who shares a name with Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, to confuse voters in Alaska's Senate race. The move follows a New York Times report on the alleged effort and comes days before the midterm elections. Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has ordered a separate state investigation, and President Trump has called for Peltola's prosecution.
