Trump

President Donald Trump is calling for the criminal prosecution of the Democratic candidate running for Senate in Alaska after revelations that her campaign appeared to be involved in recruiting a candidate with the same name as Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan. The New York Times relied on text messages and interviews for a report Wednesday showing that Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign coordinated with Democratic operatives to recruit a man named Daniel J. Sullivan to compete on the ballot with the incumbent. Peltola’s campaign said in a statement Wednesday that it has “no involvement with either Sullivan campaign.” At a campaign stop, she called the report a ”distraction."
