Trump justice department claims there could be ‘confusion’ about two Republicans on the ballot named Dan Sullivan

Donald Trump said he ordered the justice department to file a lawsuit to block the certification of Alaska’s US Senate results if the Republican incumbent loses, a move that voting rights experts called an “unprecedented intervention” by the federal government with control of Congress in the balance.

“I’m the one that said do it,” Trump told reporters as he landed in Florida for a campaign rally on Friday.
