Trump Weighs in on DOJ Suit to Block Alaska Senate Certification if GOP Senator Dan Sullivan Loses Amid Scheme to Sabotage with ‘Decoy’ Challenger with Same Name (VIDEO)

The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit to block the certification of Alaska’s Senate election results if incumbent GOP Senator Dan Sullivan loses. This action is in response to an alleged Democratic scheme to place a candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan on the ballot as a Republican to confuse voters. President Trump stated he directed the Justice Department to initiate the lawsuit.

• The Justice Department is suing to block the certification of Alaska’s Senate election results if Senator Dan Sullivan loses.
• The lawsuit alleges a Democratic scheme to use a ‘decoy’ candidate, Daniel J. Sullivan, with a similar name to confuse voters.
• Daniel J. Sullivan, a Democrat, was registered as a Republican in an attempt to disrupt the August primary, but his name will appear on the general election ballot.
• The DOJ seeks an order to prevent certification if the ‘decoy’ candidate’s presence potentially alters the election outcome.
• President Trump confirmed he directed the Justice Department to file the lawsuit.
• Democrat challenger Mary Peltola criticized the DOJ’s action, calling it corruption and an attempt by Sullivan to maintain power.
