Summary
Grand jury subpoenas have been issued in a Justice Department investigation into whether Alaska candidate Dan J. Sullivan violated federal law, NBC News reported on primary day, citing unidentified sources.
Dan J. Sullivan said he has not received a subpoena, and neither the Alaska Democratic Party, Mary Peltola’s campaign, the Alaska Division of Elections nor former Sullivan consultant Amber Lee reported receiving one.
The probe follows a July report that federal and state investigators were seeking evidence of wire fraud or a conspiracy to deprive Alaska voters of a free and fair election tied to Sullivan’s candidacy.
Dan J. Sullivan has denied running a sham campaign despite repeated accusations from incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan and President Donald Trump that his same-name candidacy was meant to confuse voters.
Despite the scrutiny, Dan J. Sullivan was running third and remained on track to advance to November’s top-four general election alongside Dan S. Sullivan and Mary Peltola.
