AG Blanche won't say whether Trump ordered DOJ's Alaska lawsuit over two Dan Sullivans on the Senate ballot
Attorney General Todd Blanche declined Sunday to detail how the Justice Department came to file a lawsuit over Alaska's Senate race, where incumbent Sen. Daniel S. Sullivan and former Forest Service employee Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. are both on the ranked-choice ballot, the Washington Examiner reported. President Trump has said he directed DOJ to pursue a legal challenge if the race is affected by "voter confusion" over the shared name.
