Alaska Governor Orders Criminal Investigation Into Peltola Campaign
President Trump had lashed out at Mary Peltola after The New York Times reported that her campaign and national Democrats helped recruit spoiler candidates to the race. He offered no explanation of what crime may have been committed.
