DOJ issues new subpoenas in Alaska Senate probe
The Justice Department has begun issuing a new wave of subpoenas stemming from an ongoing criminal investigation into Alaska's U.S. Senate race, multiple sources confirmed to CBS News.

What the coverage shows
The coverage splits sharply in what it foregrounds. NBC News and Fox News both center a reported covert ballot scheme tied to Mary Peltola’s campaign, while Fox adds that Democrats backed it and NBC says the New York Times report described it as an effort to sabotage Dan Sullivan’s chances. Democracy Now! is alone in focusing instead on a Justice Department lawsuit aimed at blocking certification if Sullivan loses.
