INTRO: Alaska’s governor launching a criminal inquiry into Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola, who reportedly worked with party operatives to boost the candidacy of a Senate candidate with a similar name to her Republican opponent, incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan. President Trump joined K-C-M-O’s “Mundo in the Morning” comparing the scandal to debunked claims about fraud in the 20-20 election.
ACK: President Donald Trump

TAG: The president faced criminal charges related to the January Sixth attack on the U-S Capitol, along with a conspiracy to block certification of former president Joe Biden’s 20-20 election win. The New York times report that brought attention to Peltola’s alleged involvement in the Alaska scheme did not find evidence of criminal wrongdoing, and highlighted that similar ballot-stacking maneuvers have been undertaken in Alaska by Republicans in previous elections.
KEYWORD: Politics, POTUS, Election
