President Trump on Wednesday called for Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola to drop out of the race and be criminally prosecuted after it was revealed that her allies were behind an effort to bring a candidate into the race that had the same name as her GOP opponent.
“Mary Peltola should resign from the race. I think she should be prosecuted criminally for what she did,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews ahead of his trip to Ohio to campaign for Republicans there.
He said any of her allies who worked to recruit Daniel J. Sullivan into the race to compete against incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan should also face criminal charges.
Top aides of Peltola were behind the recruitment effort, the New York Times reported. She had originally denied any involvement, but Wednesday’s shock report revealed she was “definitely aware” of the scheme.
“They said they didn’t do it, and they did do it, and they got caught. And in fact, it was a plot by the Democrat Party, and frankly, they should be, I think they should be prosecuted. To me, that’s voter fraud at the highest level,” the president said.
The Justice Department is conducting an “aggressive criminal investigation” into Daniel J. Sullivan’s appearance on the ballot, with subpoenas expected to be issued in the coming days, Fox News reported.

“ Trump on Wednesday called for Alaska Democratic Senate candidate…”
The president? Ok but not the senate? Not the disgusting GOP senate. Not the RNC who wasted 100 million dollars on a gop primary in Texas to have it go Democrat?
And the new York Times held the story until 58,000 Alaskans already voted.
>> Not the RNC who wasted 100 million dollars on a gop primary in Texas to have it go Democrat?
Chill. Loosen your grip on those pearls before your hand cramps! It’s not over yet.
What’s your point?
And the new York Times held the story until 58,000 Alaskans already voted
—————
That means that the New York Times knew that the Democrat was going to lose anyway. Otherwise, they would’ve never written the story.
My point is clear. You’re not stupid.
“Mary Peltola should resign from the race; she should be prosecuted criminally for bringing a third candidate into the race that had the same name as her GOP opponent,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews. He said that should include any of her allies who worked to recruit Daniel J. Sullivan into the race.
Mary Peltola ‘definitely aware’ Dems searched for another Dan Sullivan to confuse voters in Alaska race: bombshell report
She should drop out - but I’m pretty sure nothing she did is actually illegal, just reprehensible.
Wasted $100M on ***Cornyn***...
There - fixed it for you.
“ My point is clear. You’re not stupid”
I don’t get your point.
She’s running for senate totally cheating. Where is the RNC?
Mary Peltola Was Aware of Scheme to Draft Spoiler
Candidate with her opponent Dan Sullivan’s Name —
and Her Campaign Lawyers Were Involved

Democrats in Alaska reportedly created a plan to find a second candidate, also called Dan Sullivan, as Sen. Daniel S. Sullivan (R-AK) and Alaska Democrat U.S. Senate candidate (and former Rep) Mary Peltola (D-AK) face off against each other.
While Peltola’s campaign “has repeatedly denied any involvement” in Daniel J. Sullivan announcing his candidacy, a report from the New York Times revealed that “interviews and text messages, along with documents prepared for a potential lawsuit” showed that Peltola’s team was involved “with people trying to recruit Mr. Sullivan to run.”

“Wasted $100M on ***Cornyn***...”
I’m awaiting Cornyn to come out in support os Talrico(or whatever his name is). No doubt it is being discussed.
“ Wasted $100M on ***Cornyn***...
There - fixed it for you.”
Yep
What is the actual charge? Is it illegal for people with identical names to be on the ballot?
Did they pay this guy to run?
You’re writing off Texas. The election is not over. Stop already with the dxmn pearl clutching!
I’m not writing off Texas.
Why is Trump defending the senate and the RNC is nowhere?
SMH
bkmk
What crime is the Democratic candidate accused of?
