INTRO: The Department of Justice is appealing a federal judge’s decision to toss the Trump administration’s lawsuit seeking to block the Alaska Senate election results if Republican incumbent Dan S. Sullivan (R-AK) loses . Prosecutors allege staffers inside Mary Peltola’s (D) campaign recruited a “decoy” Dan J. Sullivan to confuse voters. Attorney General Todd Blanche tells Fox’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum,” the government’s case is “perfectly legal.”
ACK: Attorney General Todd Blanche

TAG: The New York Times reports the D-O-J is investigating donor fraud and conspiracy charges… sending target letters to Democratic operatives. Mary Peltola herself denies involvement.
KEYWORD: Politics, Election, Legal, Crime
