The US Department of Justice has issued subpoenas regarding allegations that the campaign of Alaska Democrat Mary Peltola collaborated with party operatives to recruit a second candidate named Dan Sullivan for the midterm Senate race, according to reports published Thursday.
Federal investigators launched the inquiry following reports that the effort to place a similarly named challenger against the incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan was tied to Peltola's campaign, which had previously denied involvement for months. The unfolding investigation comes just days ahead of the election scheduled for Tuesday.
