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
Most outlets center on the DOJ’s new subpoenas or broader probe in Alaska’s Senate race, with CBS News and NBC News both stressing that the investigation is ongoing and CBS alone saying it is a “new wave” of subpoenas. The New York Times, Axios, CNBC, and The Guardian US frame the story around allegations that Mary Peltola’s campaign helped recruit a second Dan Sullivan, while CBS News and Axios also emphasize the ballot-confusion angle. NPR’s extract stands out by shifting away from the probe entirely to a fisheries issue, and Reason mainly points readers to the Times story or a law-analysis follow-up.
