Alaska gov. orders probe into Peltola over 2nd Dan Sullivan on ballot
A report alleged that people aligned with Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign helped recruit a candidate with the same first and last name as Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan. Peltola denied the allegations.

What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the Justice Department probe into claims of a spoiler candidate in Alaska, but they frame it differently. The Associated Press foregrounds Mary Peltola’s denial that she knew anything about the effort, while CNN leads with the broader investigation itself and, in its extract, mentions an alleged Democratic scheme to recruit a spoiler candidate.
