INTRO: The Department of Justice ramping up its probe into the Alaska Senate race. The New York Times reporting the D-O-J has sent as many as 20 Democratic operatives letters to notify them they could be targets of an investigation. Prosecutors allege staffers inside Mary Peltola’s (D) campaign recruited Dan J. Sullivan to run against incumbent Senator Dan S. Sullivan (R-AK) to confuse voters. Attorney General Todd Blanche tells Fox’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum,” the answer’s obvious.
ACK: Attorney General Todd Blanche

TAG: Additionally, the Times reports the D-O-J is investigating donor fraud and conspiracy charges. Peltola herself denies involvement.
