Justice Department sends criminal target letters in Alaska probe to people aligned with Democratic party
(opens the publisher’s site)The Justice Department has notified more than a dozen Democrats they could face charges over an effort to field a same-name Senate rival in Alaska.
- The Justice Department sent target letters to more than a dozen Democrats, including leadership of the Elias Law Group, days before Election Day.
- The department has issued more than 100 grand jury subpoenas and preservation letters in the Alaska conspiracy and donor fraud probe.
- Marc Elias, whose firm represents Peltola's campaign and the DSCC, said the probe is a "sham" with "zero evidence of wrongdoing."
- Former House candidate Matthew Salisbury told the FBI that an operative recruited him to run as a spoiler against Sen. Sullivan.
