The Department of Justice on Wednesday revealed it is shaking up its strategy to target Democrat Mary Peltola’s Senate campaign in Alaska after her former campaign manager accused the candidate’s team of plotting to confuse the voters in one of the tightest races nationwide.
The DOJ is reversing its opposition to the Peltola campaign’s request to intervene in the agency’s lawsuit against the Democrat, instead pressing it to reveal further details about the timing of the request. The department is pressing the campaign on whether its effort to swiftly dismiss the DOJ’s lawsuit was planned because it knew in advance about a possibly damning media report alleging the candidate’s team collaborated with Democratic operatives to rig the race against Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), the Republican incumbent battling Peltola.
